I’d also want to see how well the batteries handle a hard but survivable landing or controlled autorotor ground stop (and bounce).

What bothers me with this aircraft is the multiple points of potential failure.

The Huey of Vietnam had one rotor, one engine, two pilots and a tail rotor. In effect 4 points of potential failure. It was a magnificent machine that brought many wounded boys home and at the same time much sacrifice to those brave pilots, crew and wounded. Those pilots were angels and brave with a mission they could not deny.
