@shy the BO105 has a rigid rotorhead.
All the blade movement comes from a softer part in the blade base that allows lead and lag movement.
No, I disagree! In the strictest sense it's definitely a semi-rigid system. There are pitch change bearings in the blade cuffs. A rigid rotor has no bearings at all.
