The rotor is free to rotate at all times and when completely assembled with motor cover and grill, because of its weight, you must handle it by the stator housing, the motor cover is only held on by 3 small machine screws. I can tell you from experience, it will bite when least expected, the leading edges of the chopper have a knife edge. Watch the following test video I did today and you can see how easily the rotor will spin.
I have worked on Qs.
Yes, you want the grill on when handling. But once on display, I would remove it. Looks much different without the grill!
It would be louder, too.
People must be warned not to get bitten.
I was slightly bitten while molesting an air raid siren in Yantai, China.
Trying to get it to growl.
