In reply to Arkroyal, yes you are correct old chap, when the ex-garage door company first changed the Lynx tail rotor over the spiral oil groove forgotten about, causing an angle gearbox to fail, that was when the error was discovered.

As to Fenistron Stall, speaking from experience as a past and current Gazelle pilot, there is no such thing as Fenistron stall. Large and rapid imputs of right boot and high power settings can (if you try hard enough) cause a lack of directional control, its called gross miss handling! I managed it only once, that was during an "AAC Blue Ego's" pactice and yes, adrenaline is brown in colour.
