Yeah I dont think this would be a great idea -- go back -- way back to the very first Superman, the 1970's or early 80's one (i wasnt born yet so what do i know) -- remember when that Heli got that cable wrapped around the landing skis and it came crashing down? That is what I predict if you try to tether your bird...most likely it would come crashing down on the side and distroy your blades and rotor heads.
