 information on flying the helicopter.

 Press SHIFT+C as many times as required to keep selecting Checklists.



 The helicopter has been fine tuned and is very easy to fly.



 Special Notes:   1.  You will need to adjust the TRIM in level flight

                      as this is quite different to other aircraft.



                  2.  Make sure that 'Auto-coordination' is OFF in

                      'Aircraft Settings', otherwise helicopter will

                      become unstable.



                  3.  The tail rotor operates, but it will make the

                      Helicopter become unstable, so just bank to make

                      turns, or Very Fine tail rotor turns only.

  

                  4.  Flaps! yes flaps, to hover set 1 notch of  fllaps

                      (F7) and set Torque (Throttle) to 65%, to resume

                      normal flight press (F5) to cancel flaps.
