Made some tweaks to the controls. Running the throttle through the gyro has fixed the barrel roll problem in cruise mode and actually increased fuel efficiency somehow. Both throttle and collective are controlled with up & down controls now.

First Advanced Helicopter I've found that only required the parts I already had unlocked. I took off with out the cruise mode on just fine ( I didn't see it at first). When I did finally find the cruise control I was going 40m/s and the Heli proceeded to do a barrel role into the ocean. Other than that its great.

Good chopper - but sadly the arctic update somehow broke the way cruise mode worked - as this was build before arctic update and flew fine with cruise mode before - now it wobbles and crashes when cruise is enabled.. one way around it is to put the up/down from gyro to control throttle of engines and collective. Select tool and set min throttle to 10% or so - for starting engines. the existing throttle besides the pilot seat can be changed out for something else until a workaround or fix or better idea comes along to fix the wobbly issues.
