I don't think that this contraption will manage any more than a hop of a second or two, and that's assuming sufficient Rrpm and a rapid application of collective - I'd guess that the Rrpm will decay with a conventional smooth and gentle raising of the lever even with the inertia of a heavy main rotor. IMHO of course.

Keen to see the test though. Good luck.
