You can get the real stuff on Amazon, but 3M is very proud of it. I suspect the real stuff has adhesive that might
give us bike riders a fit, ie good for paint removal, maybe even the top layer of CF. Anything designed to stay
put on helicopter blades at 500-600 mph (blade speed) would have to be. It also seems to be in 3" and up widths
and lengths suitable for a big helicopter blade.

I suspect that anything listed for bikes has a less tenacious adhesive, and may be thinner, even if it has "Helicopter"
attached to its name. See specs on TimothyH ref.

Further study of 3M lit suggests it is "easy to remove" but their definition of easy may differ. (3M 8671HS tape)
