I see what you are saying AC but the idea is to try fathom how flight with such a system might feel.
The idea came as a comparison of di-hedral vs an-hedral in fixed wing aircraft. Anhedral is always unstable as the rolling axis is below the dynamic cg of the aircraft. Where high wing dihedral aircraft usually have the rolling axis above the dynamic cg. Both cases are for normal level flight. Fighter aircraft like anhedral as it makes the craft quick and nimble in the air but a slow trainer would benefit from the almost auto stabilizing effects of dihedral.
Thus, could it be imagined, that a Bell / Robinson type head sports a force equilibrium similar to that of anhedral forces on a fixed wing craft? So, in effect, is the current setup not perhaps more like trying to balance an axe on you finger (during flight)?
