I am sure your helicopter has flapping. Maybe not a visible flapping hinge, but some elasticity within the blades or the blade holder. The Bo105 and the Ec135 has no flapping hinge as well. > Our specific helicopter is a Bergen Tazer, it has about a 6 foot > diameter rotor span and runs on 4 Li-po batteries. > If it is possible, we will begin developing one and possibly making it > available to the public. Thank you for your time and effort. Best regards, Maik
