Jcooper,

You're correct, the feathering hinge is the pitch change hinge and the Kaman helicopters do not have them. Interestingly, the Kaman rotors do have teetering hinges and they have lead/lag hinges.

Their head is referred to as a teetering hub, but this does not fully describe it.

Here's a picture of a helicopter with rigid rotors that was take in Switzerland last week.
