The Wasp does not have and never has had negative pitch. It has the facility to select what is described in the Pilot's Notes as the "superfine collective pitch range' which was useful on a moving deck but ineffective beyond about 15 degrees of heel as I once learned to my cost. The superfine range could be disabled by the insertion of a pip-pin at the base of the collective, although I don't recall it ever being fitted.
