After a crash course (no pun intended) in particles my tutor (Lee Griggs) and I fudged the smoke on the Helicopter using a preset effect in Maya and parented it to the fuselage of the helicopter and activated it after the tail breaks off.
Seeing the helicopter separate from the tail is making this complicated shot more complicated and bringing unnecessary attention to the action of the helicopter and detracting from the rest of the plate. The smoke however is working and with a much more detailed sit down with the effects I am sure that the smoke can be present through the entire scene and not at a certain point.
