Dang straight to the point..ive been flying for 5days now.. and i get compliments on how fast ive picked up flying..thanks to vids like these that are 3mins of simple gold..love channels that just get to the point

This isn't necessarily about the video, but about you yourself.
I noticed and love how you reply to almost every comment and make high quality videos. Hope I can get good at flying a helicopter eventually! Thanks for all you help and keep up the good work!

Im Twister It's not easy to explain over a comment, but I'll try.
1. Turn the airframe to about a 45 degree angle in the direction you want to turn.
2. Pull the Cyclic (Flight Stick) all the way back to start turning.
3. Add full left or right pedal depending on the direction you are turning (left pedal for left turn, right pedal for right turn). This will give you a little extra speed throughout the turn, and also keep your nose from climbing.
4. You can keep level and on the horizon throughout the turn by slightly rolling left or right.

I'm glad to see you're still pushing these out.  I've subbed, looking forward to more quick tips and especially some more tactical/protocol based videos as well.  This very maneuver gets me in trouble with the AFM and vortex ring state in online servers.  I can keep myself out of trouble when practicing SP but it's the added pressure of ruining someone else's day where I find myself running out of talent.

A actual quick tip over simplified you earned a sub sir

[anjayl]

One bad thing about youtube is that you can't "thumb up" a video twice.

[Bleemus]

Love your videos. I hope to be half the pilot you are someday but I imagine I have thousands of hours of practice ahead of me. Keep em coming!

Can we have a little explain about you keybord and mouse shortcuts ? How you play ? Really good job, i'm learning many many

[Sinkatze]

Its great to see this in a video Guide as I always use this, but kind of learnt it by intuition and logic. Great video thanks :D

[cornlips]

thanks a lot for the tips. i have been learning to fly in arma and your videos have been extremely helpful

[trevorbrock]

Thanks for the vid dude. However I was wondering if you could do the footage with the guages showing along the bottom. Its very hard to know what you are doing with the throttle when doing this and othe maneuvers. Also a quick vid on doing a transition from very high to ground level as fast as possible would be great. Nomatter what I do I just end up plowing into the ground.

[ExperiencingTerminal]

Amazing Quick Tip as always Patchwork! :D

[CZiNTrPT]

Also it seems if you have your collective in neutral (in SF mode), it's way easier to stay in the air while turning, instead of pulling on the collective...

[cekithings]

These videyas are awesome dude, hope to see more :D

[levimallek]

You're making great videos. keep on doing it

[lukemoss]

Hey! Thanks for the tip video. Would you recommend any key binding changes for KB&m? Thanks

[jeans_]

Any way you can show similar maneuvers using ROTORLIB? Especially fast landings.

[deeshy]

Could you make a video about how to do auto rotary and other maneuvers when you helicopter fails?

[SeñorMikas]

Hi patchwork i would just LOVE if you made a quick tips about air combat in helis i just can't fight in helis as i just get alot of unecessary speed. Thanks!

[TheNorthernAlex]

Very nice Video, i am following your channel now for a while and I do think you deserve more Subs. I have one question, would you know what could cause the collective only to work "half way"? What i mean is that I can only fly half speed without dropping becasue it seems that when i use my collective mapped to the throttle I can only use half of the collective up or down.

Thank you for your time!
