To add to what Jason said, where single-rotor helis are concerned the blades should always be removed when undertaking any type of bench testing. Even the tail rotor of a big CP heli is dangerous, to say nothing of the main blades. It may be tempting to think "just this once", and to leave the blades on while running a brief experiment on the receiver/ESC/FBL, but the safe approach is to make a pact with one's self: ALWAYS remove BOTH the main and tail blades when configuring and testing - NO EXCEPTIONS!
The same safety strategy works well with fixed wing too. A plane without its prop is almost totally inert, though you can still get your finger pinched in the aileron hinge gap
