Greetings,
 
With all the talk of single rotor power levels, everyone seems to be assuming that we'll get half of what a 2 rotor gets for HP.   One thing that we lose with the single rotor is the scavenging effect that can be gained from the exhaust flow of the other rotor.  How much of a HP loss is this?
Each rotor should be able to scavenge itself, shouldn't it?
