Surprised this hasn't been deconstructed on here yet?

One all?

I guess so John - you have me at a disadvantage as I have never flown one.

As I'm sure you know, many modern systems have a rigid rotor head but permit flapping, feathering and dragging through elastomeric bearings - interesting that the 105 doesn't have any of those at all - the blades must have been absorbing enormous stresses from lead/lag as well as flapping.

I believe the S92 has a similar arrangement which will give you high control power and similar handling to the 105/Lynx on a slope but perhaps without quite so much potential for generating mast-bending stresses with in-slope cyclic.
