Flight Manual:
-------------------

Pre-Flight:
1. [LIGHTS] - As required [L]/[N]
2. [WEAPONS] - All SAFE [1]/[2] (Indicator lights extinguished)
3. [AUTOPILOT] - As required

4. [COLLECTIVE] - Set to neutral [W]/[S] (Visual check)

Take-off and Flight:
1. Engage the main rotor with [T].
2. Increase the collective slowly with [W] until takeoff.
3. Set a steady hover with [W]/[S].
4. Fly with [ARROWS] and [A]/[D]



NOTES:
-----------
- The collective is sticky! It moves slowly with [W]/[S] and holds the position you set.
- The terrain collision warning will sound when near the ground if your velocity is too high to land safely. - Works for both horizontal and vertical speed!
- The autopilot is gentle and won't jerk you around like other autopilots! You can fly with it turned on if you want to.
- You may wish to use the mast camera while flying! Tap [LSHIFT] to switch.
- If you have a co-pilot in the other cockpit, you can assume pilot/gunner roles! All controls are shared on both seats. The mast camera can also be rotated with [<] and [>].

The best way to fly is to take off and set a nice hover, then push the cyclic gently forward with [UP ARROW]. Now that you are moving and your lift vector is offset, you should be in a slow descent. Tap [W] a few times to arrest this, and then simply cruise around using [ARROWS]. If you fly at a near constant speed with the collective set right, when you slow down you will automatically gain altitude to clear obstacles and lose altitude when you fly faster for those zoomies through the canyons. It weathervanes and stays in a more-or-less coordinated turn with just cyclic, but if you need to you can always kick in some extra tail with [A]/[D].


Thanks for flying my model! Please comment if you have problems. This is a lot of fun to fly and I hope you enjoy it.
