I would not even think of flying a helicopter until it warmed up the
prescribed time according to the operator handbook - which is virtually at
close to full power for a few minutes. I want it to fail on the ramp - if
it is going to fail. I do the same with my fixed wing aircraft. The
amplifier is a bit different, though, since you can have the amplifier out
of resonance or unloaded.
I would not want to operate my fixed wing aircraft at full power without the
prop on.
