DJackson Personal Helicopter Design Stolen!
Fifi LaFlame, who leads in stylish designs, has been accused of stealing a new design for a personal helicopter being created by Dave Jackson. Collateral issues concern whether the design, incorporating Hybrid Technology and Alternative Power sources, infringes upon patents held by other designers.

Are those marks on the wall meant to show the relative airflow? Just wait for the flap-back effect. OO-er missus.

SASless, I only said that it was stolen, after you refused to pay Ms. LaFlame for the work that you commissioned her to do.
A little honesty is required here. SASless&less wanted to give Nick a gift, when he left Sikorsky. He knew that Nick was in love with tail rotors, to the point of it being an erotic fetish. In fact Nick has said many times on PPRuNe; "A tail rotor is the best way to get it up."

Dave as usual mis-states the situation.
Nick has been heard to say "a little tail is the best way to get it up...." vice what Dave has suggested.
Nick recently informed me his theory about stress testing of tails without fairings was incorrect. In fact...he said a fellow test engineer after compiling test results for both faired and unfaired tails were quite different. Nick said the report followed his statement that if there was a difference he would kiss the Test Engineers unfaired tail in public.
The Test Report summary paragraph began....."Pucker UP!" Then proceeded to disqualify Nick's thesis. There is a difference.
As to contractual arrangements with Miss Laflame...that remains propietary information.
Note: Any '"Real" helicopter pilot could have told Nick there is a noticeable difference. Unfaired tails are much more effected by such tests.
