An upper rotor control system is contained within an upper rotor shaft and upper hub assembly of a contra-rotating rigid rotor system. A collective servo assembly includes a hydraulic actuator that provides collective pitch to all blades through axial extension/retraction of the control rod relative the upper rotor shaft for collective pitch control of the rotor blades. The collective servo assembly includes a spherical bearing for attachment of the control rod to aircraft structure. An X-Y positioner assembly includes a bearing arrangement which allows the shaft to rotate, while the X-Y positioner assembly remains non-rotational therein. The X-Y positioner assembly includes a multitude of hydraulic actuators, orthogonally positioned, to tilt the control rod about the spherical bearing off the axis of rotation of the upper rotor shaft for cyclic pitch control of the rotor blades.
