Bigger chords cause bigger moments that need to be resolved, BY CONTROL FORCES.
not true because
the Aerodynamic force on a blade acts at the Center of Pressure, if it is not co-incident with the Pitch Change Axis...etc
your words again

just because the chord is bigger doesn't mean the CoP is further from the pitch change axis! If the CoP is a long way from the pitch change axis it will cause a bigger moment but it is NOT dependent on chord length.

In what way are you 'sincerely trying'? You made a comment on a thread that was wrong (about symmetrical aerofoils) and since then you have kept moving the goalposts about where the argument is - generally banging on about chord length as if was even vaguely relevant to the discussion at the time about servo transparency.

Maybe your fawning acolytes, in whichever small pond you think you are a big fish, will hang on your every word (but you won't tell us which pond or give any information regarding your experience) but I don't. I have still to be convinced you are nothing but a troll.

If you are not then you really do need to develop a sense of humour or a thicker skin
