I do not know how long ago that was, but when I started teaching PoF in the 70s they were still quite widespread. Even Shawberry was turning out QHIs with traces of them. Their teaching materials seemed to be derived ultimately from the US helicopter manual of the 50s which was rife with them.
I tried to eliminate those I new of and met with a little resistance from the beefers as a result.
However, this thread has made me consider the awful possibility that I might have fallen for one of them regarding tail rotor roll.
