Whoa guy! Right-of Way is assigned in 91.113, and there is nothing there
that gives airplanes right-of-way over helicopters. (Yes, I know about 91.126
(2), but that is more of a general thing.)

Also, as a glider pilot, I have learned that one lives longer if you do not
expect to automatically receive the right-of-way just because the regs say it
should be yours.

There is a classic cartoon that shows two guys in a dinky sailboat
with an aircraft carrier bearing down on them.

One guy says to the other: Don't worry about it. We have the right-of-way.
