One of the best things about removing the props is the ability to DO a CSC and "play" with the various Combination Stick Commands and shutdown methods. It will idle and won't hurt anything. I wouldn't run it a LOT, but it certainly doesn't hurt to practice startup and shutdown using the various methods.
The other day, I started and let the motors idle while trying a few different things. I wanted to know what would happen at idle when the control sticks were moved (not the throttle, but others) and it just changes the RPM slightly, but did not try to "take off" and perform those directional changes. I did not try to increase throttle and "take off" without props installed. I would assume it would give an error.
Nonetheless, removing the props allows you to play without any concern for accidental takeoff and also allows you to startup and shutdown the motors with the confidence of knowing it won't fly away. |
