Hi John,
I like the Trixy better for the comfort and overall craftmansship. However, the Calidus beats it at end speed, and seems a bit more agile. The Trixy will come out cheaper when equipped the same, but still in the 60 000 euro range. If I had to spend that kind of money I would have a hard time deciding, but probably it would be the Trixy. Kai.

Chris, Chuck,
I see the two straps of metal, top and bottom, to be a risk by itself in the MTO hub. If there is any coning angle change going on, there would be a sheering force on the bolts with this set-up wouldn it? In the Averso type rotor you only have one piece of metal with two forks at then ends, so most likely the solid piece in the middle would bend. Kai.

This is how the load on a rotorblade shifts during forward flight, from Gessow and Meyers: Aerodynamics of the Helicopter.
There is continuous flexing in the root/hub area that can lead to cracking if not properly accommodated.
