It's a Bell term for the 412 head, & it basically means "There is no way to track it smooth, & it will shake your teeth out". I always assumed it just meant "not in plane", since the 412 blades are in different planes, with the two beams stacked on top of one another. Thus, you can never get a perfect track, you just track for an 'acceptable' ride.
