Hi Guys, just wondering if it's normal, or considered ok to leave a helicopter running unmanned on certain types, or in certain parts of the world??
Granted I leave my car running when I get forget something, and it never drives off by itself, but something looks odd with regards to a chopper rotors running, unmanned. I know it's unlikely to take-off by itself (unless it's that r22 from last year), but i know some aircraft are fitted with control locks as opposed to frictions etc... Just wondering if it's common practice in some locations/types? It's not something i've seen done in my time here in the UK.
Aucky
Edit: not sure what the insurance company would say if it crashed itself
