And come to think of it...actually NO. Collective down, there's no cone
to
speak of or your rotor speed would be drooping.



No cone? I'm not sure I agree with that. Even with the collective all the
way down, there's still positive lift being generated by the rotor system.
Maybe the coneing angle isn't what it would be in steady state, powered
flight but I'm not sure it's accurate to say that there's "no" coning with
the collective full down.

Fly Safe,
