Good idea Chop Chop, but when humans are involved if it can go wrong then it will go wrong! Schweizer 300’s are a prime example of this. On some 300’s the ground handlings wheels are attached to the skids including the pole. All locked on with spring clips or pins. Provided the clips ‘n pins are locked not a problem, but I’ve seen pilots return on more than one occasion minus a wheel or pole. Normally a helicopter only gets pushed around on the ground when it’s at home so taking the wheels everywhere with you is a nonsense and an unnecessary risk. IMHO if you have nothing on the skids nothing can fall off!
