Not So Fast.....
Claudia, I beg to differ with you. I had an tail boom strike from the tail rotor on a AS-350D back in the very early '80s. The hole in the tail boom was almost large enough to stick my head in. This lead to an AD from Aerospatiale that lengthened the tail rotor gearbox output shaft. If I could figure out how to post a photo here, I would show you the photo.
