TL;DR: Check out the texts inside the cockpit, mainly, the ones behind passenger seats.
--> The lift generated by the main rotor also produces a self-correcting "pulling" force that acts above the center of gravity (CoG). As a rotorcraft accelerates downward by decreasing its collective pitch—thereby reducing this upward pulling force—the stabilizing effect also diminishes.
-However, the tail rotor, which provides anti-torque to counteract the main rotor’s torque, is usually positioned above the CoG as well. When the upward correcting force from the main rotor is reduced, the tail rotor’s thrust—still acting above the CoG—can induce a rolling moment. This results in the tail rotor unintentionally contributing to a roll torque, causing the aircraft to bank to one side. This is called a ''Low-G condition.''
-Another issue arises when this rolling moment occurs: the pilot instinctively responds by applying corrective input through the controls. For example, if the tail rotor induces a left roll, the pilot counters by commanding a right roll. However, applying such input while the main rotor hub has minimal upward — and thus stabilizing — force can lead to contact between the rotor hub and the mast, a phenomenon known as mast bumping.
-If the pilot maintains this input under these conditions, the stress on the mast can escalate rapidly, potentially resulting in catastrophic failure — specifically, mast separation or mast snap. BUT I didn't include the snapping part because it makes landing significantly harder. (It worked pretty well for flight but holy jet is it annoying..)

--> 35 to 50 percent collective (thrust) let's you hover just above the ground with the help of ground effect.
If you exceed 175 knots airspeed, the retreating blade will eventually stall -at 180kts- and cause you to fall into an uncontrollable spin, you can counter this by watching your speed and bleeding your airspeed immiediately. So be careful around 330km/h.

@Cosmosaviatoric i love this thing I've been looking for attack heli for a while and I found it ig
@lazerguidedmissile Thank you so much! I've made an improved version with better handling and a couple new features. I will upload it in a few days
this is insane
