"When a minion equips with the Helicopter, tap it. After resolving a
successful action, this minion may tap the Helicopter to untap. A
minion may have only one vehicle."
I assume not because the dialerist is taking a diablerie action which
has the side effect of gaining equipment (sometimes).
TIA.

Side effect isn't really the issue. The issue is whether he's equipping (like
Pier 13) or whether you're just moving the equipment card (like Redistribution).
The rule reads like a simple change of control, so it's just movement. The
Helicopter doesn't tap.
