Hello.

Thank you for the report. Interesting I was trying to reproduce, but I was unsuccessful.

When I get to this point

  1. Get Out of Huron

THe engine is automatically turned off and I have no control of the helicopter anymore. Could you please provide a video?

Could it be you don't have a throttle control?
