It doesn't really matter in gmax WHAT you model, the techniques are the same.

It's the flight dynamics that gives you fits.

Well, i've played around with ways i can make it look like the real thing ( I'm Making a UH-1 ), and i finnaly got it right! The main problem was the nose section looked like a box.
