Talking Prize Offered for Technical Solution

The grand sum of $49.98, less amusement tax, is offered to the first person who comes up with a practical solution to the following very simple rotorcraft problem.
________________

The Problem ~ Rotor to Rotor Vibration:
How to eliminate the rotor to rotor induced vibration, in helicopters with overlapping twin-rotors by somehow temporarily increasing the pitch [and thereby maintain a consistent angle of attack] on the blade (or its individual elements) as it (they) passes through the downwash from an upper blade and through the downdraft from a lower blade.

The Solution
How to get rid of the problem.
________________

Contest Conditions:
1/ For reasons of economy, and cheapness, the prize is in Canadian dollars; 'cause they're half way between a US dollar and a Monopoly dollar.
2/ No more than 20 submissions per person.
3/ Second prize is $49.98, in Monopoly dollars.
