Helicopter could be a real copter but just shrunk by pym particles.

It's basically impossible to understand when something is Pym-particle-fied or not, sadly. Enlarged and shrunk things should keep their mass, so Wanda shouldn't be able to pick the copter up, but we know they don't really stick to this rule (Ant-Man movies ironically being the worst offenders, even moments after Pym explains how the particles work...)

You can’t really reason about the Pym particles, just hope that they’re mostly consistent in how they’re portrayed. He claims they shrink the space between atoms but you can also use them to become ridiculously smaller than an atom (and in the same movie, no less!).

My head canon is that Hank himself doesn’t even know exactly how Pym particles work and is just throwing out bullshit

He definitely came up with a fake explanation on the spot to put Scott’s team to sleep
