lvber,
Funny that you stumbled upon that possibility. Actually, you can land a helicopter with skids just like a fixed wing plane. Come in at around 60 knots and set her down nice n easy just like a plane...but you have to keep the stick back during this to help keep the nose from digging in. We practice this kind of thing on a regular basis while using special plates on the skids to keep from grinding them down to nothing. Not the most comfortable way to land, vibrating your teeth out like that, but very exciting!
Cheers!
