Sort of makes you wonder why the S76, with its very nose high hover attitude doesn't have a stinger. Could it be so as not to spoil the looks? The tail rotor is mounted well up on the fin though so I guess any tail-first arrivals are unlikely to wipe it out.
In North Sea fit, some design guru decided the best place for the ADELT beacon was under the tail boom. Definitely not good for aft CG problems, nor ground clearance, and so it used to be standard practice with at least one operator to remove the beacon when carrying out any single engine training. This lesson was naturally learned the hard way after a few ADELT housings had become the first point of touchdown during running landings...!!
