We could have some fun with this question by breaking it into two parts:

1. What happens when a helicopter operates in a vacuum?
Not much.

2. What happens when a helicopter operates in normal atmosphere but with continued zero-g? Or how much control would the pilot have with a helicopter inside a large pressurised space station?
