51.5k Ahtzee  6.5 years ago

Welcome to version 2.0 of the Minicopter!

INFO
The helicopter is now automatic. And uses the in-game propeller engines for better stability. Now has a conopy and other details.

CONTROLS
Throttle 7-10% - up/down (collective pitch)
Pitch/roll - forward/backward/left/right (cyclic)
Yaw - turn left/right (anti-torgue peddles)
AG1 - Spotlight
AG8 - nav/beacon lights

PERFORMANCE
At spawn, wait 5-10 seconds for blades to spin at high RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). Throttle between 7-10% to gently climb altitude. Rotor RPM is always on and automatic, and has throttle governer on. Which means throttle controls are collective pitch controls, assisted by the throttle governer for ideal rotor RPM and safety. Gyro stabilizer is always on.
