Huey Help

[A/SGT.Mav316]

I downloaded a Ah1-f/S Cobra from Hovercontrol and I can't get her off the ground! The rotors are getting enough torque on start up to get her off the ground.

I tried giving it a little time to get up to speed, then fed it a little power to get full rotation. Once I saw that the main rotors had full spin on them, I tried to give it some more torque to get them to stay at full spin and the rotor blades started slowing down.

What am I doing wrong with this Huey?

check if your breaks are off and check your settings maby that might be the problem

You are not doing anything wrong. Like all helicopters, it is just trying to naturally screw itself into the ground

hahaha those helo's are verry verry hard to control when i fly a helo it seems to allways spin out of control.

Bring up the Collective window and make sure the throttle is full open. (Ctrl+F4 for full open)

If your using a joy that has a rotary or slider control assigned to Prop Speed in fixed wing

Haha, yeah and don't forget to make sure you have your thrust reversers off as well!  Kinda reminds me of when we would get new and inexperienced Marines on the tanks we would tell them not to traverse more that 3 times either way because they will either unscrew the turret or tighten it down too much!  Haha, suckers.
