Can someone provide the tailrotor RPM of the R22?

Main rotor is 520rpm correct?

Thanks,

ALERT HAS BEEN CANCELED.

The cook has gone back to the kitchen.

Folks.... Meet my new potato slicer.

The R-22 Slice-O-Matic.

It slices, it dices, it julienne shreds.

But wait - That's not all.

Buy this little gadget by midnight tonight and we will throw in the
rest of the helicopter plus the kitchen sink at no extra charge.

Your wife and kids will love it.

While daddy is bringing the main rotor up to speed the kids will just
love what the tail rotor will do to a spud.

One little arm motion will be all that's needed by your youngest child
to fling a spud through the tail rotor.

You will have the thinnest sliced potatos possible.
