"10% of Chord is bigger for a bigger chord than a smaller chord. (self evident)"
would you argue that it is not?
You are in condradiction with yourself over several points you have made.
(and furthermore you have been wrong historically on many points on which you have now shifted your view: Cliff recirculation drawing a/c towards cliff, Vortex ring being unrecoverable, Diss o lift being resolved by Flapping, Private pilots should monitor instruments more to avoid IIMC, and the grammer of my handle)

re 205 vs 412 I don't know it's only a generalisation (since as Crab points out one designer may place it's CoP closer to the Pitch Change Axis in absoloute terms and in relative terms. Also the Control Gearing may be different. There are clearly significant moments to resolve in the symetrical Gazelle example ( but I have never really bought the theory that the CoP doesn't move much for Symetrical aerofoils). Does the 412 have dual hydraulics against single in the 205?
