Dear all. This Fenestron stall business worries me. I managed about 450 hours on type in the AAC and loved ebvery minute of it(apart from the seats). A good friend of mine (serving QHI 4000hrs+) said that Fenestron stall is a myth concucted up by someone many moons ago who probably lost tail rotor authority withwind from right rear which we all know the Gazelle doesn't like. According to him, while at Boscome Down they tried all sorts of nasty things to induce it and nothing happened. Has anyone out there actually experienced it? I never did.. .PS. Nice buy though, lovely to fly and quick, many congrats to the lucky new Gazelle jockey
