I haven't heard of helicopter tape but

Thank you that is an even quicker solution. I may use something similar from China

but the pipe does not cut into my chain stay and weighs very little and seems less likely to fall off.
The scuffing occurs on the right chain stay, on the side where I had a spinal hernia 17 or so years ago, on the same side as my knees and hip issues, largely, thought not completely, corrected by the exercise I recommend.
If no one else has chain stay scuffing, they will not need a chain stay protector, pipe, nor pad.
