If a hellicopter was hovering inside the aircraft the weight would remain unchanged due to the downforce acting on the cabin floor being equal to the weight of the chopper. Mariner9 if that chopper hovered on up to the front of the aircraft the c of g would change. hellicopters work in allmost the same way as ornithopters (what birds are).
