Dude, even if this thing and all the guys working on it are created by my weird brain it doesn't mean the pilots are allowed to fly drunk too.... :-P
First of all, there is a corridor left between the rotors with a width of 6 or 7 studs, meaning at least the double or even larger size of the ships' widths.
The helicopter's landing platform is on the rear and there are no rotors in his way either. So I think with some careful handling this thing should be able to be operated without of too many accidents... ;-)
