They flew it in a semi vacuum {1%}chamber and it worked. Don’t know how they compensated for 1/3 G. Or if they even tried.

They used fishing line attached to the copter and connected to a compensating winch.

Yes they did compensate for 1/3 g. Nasa still has some left over Flubber and attached some to each leg. Worked great.
