Can you roll or pitch up and down with a stiff rotor head without pitch up/down (when rolling the fuse) or roll over (when pitching up/down the fuse) as a result? I can only see him flying in a straight line.
I'm not sure but I think you need the flapping/teetering to get rid of precession effects, that's what caused Ciervas first few autogyros to crash.

no lead lag hinges? lead lag is still needed unless the flexibility is starting from the center of the rotational axis

rcairpower......the blades used on this type of gyro fap up and down on their own as they are so flexible. The cured the asymetry of lift.

No flapping hinges? How did he solve the dysymmetry of lift? Did he do it manually by changing the angle of the DC head?
