Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw

Easy to fly:

If you are new to helicopters...

I try my helicopters to have good maneuverability - so this UH-19 as well.

The throttle must be at 100% all the time from start to land.
You will control the elevation aka upward and downward movement by using VTOL. VTOL at center / zero will bring the helicopter down. It’s easy- try a few run and you will get it. This method covers most of all my helicopters.

History:

H-19 During Korean War

The Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw (company model number S-55) is a multi-purpose helicopter that was used by the United States Army and United States Air Force in the 1950s. It was also license-built by Westland Aircraft as the Westland Whirlwind in the United Kingdom. United States Navy and United States Coast Guard models were designated HO4S, while those of the U.S. Marine Corps were designated HRS. In 1962, the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Marine Corps versions were all redesignated as H-19s like their U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force counterparts.

    @WinsWings yeah if you know me I hate communism, socialism, eg I'm very anti communism so much so that I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, I mean just look at what Stalin did or Mussolini. All I'm saying is that I would happily fight against communism because its awful but the way they fought it in Vietnam was well let's just say it was hopeless

    @Robomo119DerMustangKiller Well, speaking about "step 8 make the war about democracy" - you will never know how !#@* up to live in a country run by a dictatorship using the cool name of socialism for 30 years. Most kids in the West thought "Democracy" is granted. America is not perfect, but I would say this is HEAVEN compared to some country on earth - help me out @Zaineman
