AG1: start engine (Trim to lift off and control elevation) AG2: VTOL (forwad flight speed assist), AG6: fire AA missiles, AG7: Salvo the missiles. Roll controls roll and yaw controls yaw.

*credit to OP "PINK" for initial rotor system wich I co-axialed and modified slightly*

*In active service*

Helo will spin on its axis at low speeds by using yaw. At cruise or max speed to turn I use roll or roll and yaw. To align sight for unguided munitions I align helo then use cockpit view and then raise or lower trim to bring sight onto target.

    @melojam Hit AG1: Use trim to lift off. I hit AG1: lift off using trim raise gear then hit AG2:move VTOL up for speed and go. I use roll and sometimes roll and yaw to turn at speed.
