Helicopters
Hi all,
Thanks to a very kind person I possibly will be having a go in the sim of a certain large 2 rotor helicopter...
Now I understand that this costs a fair bit of money to the people that own the sim, so would like to make the most out of the short time I would have. Basically I have only ever flown fixed wing aircraft. Is there any good source of information regarding simple stuff like cockpit layout/ even basic controls e.g. what is cyclic, collective... any help much appreciated.
Cheers, Tom.
