LoneWolf50,

Feel free to shoot holes in that idea.
The fenestron has a geared, direct drive from the main gearbox. If the main rotor rpm is gone, then so proportionally is the possibility of thrust from the fenestron. The blade pitch of the fenestron (or any other tail rotor type) is controlled via the yaw pedals.
