Loss of control in yaw is not specific to the fenestron. I looked into accident reports coming from different Aviation Investigation Boards. Between 2010 and 2016 (seven years) I have 9 on the Cabri, 26 on the R22, 26 also on the R44 and I am afraid I missed some...
My feeling is that a helicopter type involved in basic training is taking some risks.
