Start up: Look up and find the three screens at the top and turn on the avionics, then turn it to "idle" wait for it to start up and turn it to "flight". Wait for it to start up and also make sure your seat is in control, then just take off!

Need-to-know:
- With both power switches off the batteries won’t drain but the doors will still open.
- Start up with all engines if you can, fewer engines = longer spool up
- Flip cross-tie breaker to recharge avionic batteries from the electrical port.
- Refuel pumps must be on to receive fuel - switch in service hatch.
- Idle engine setting will keep all batteries charged so long as radar isn't on
- The internal connection can be used to empty the tanks and feed engines but not fill tanks.
- Aircraft flyable on 2 engines (with reduced performance)

- If you hold a key before switching control, the heli will lurch in that direction unless you let the seat value reset for a bit.
- To fold main rotors, climb handles on the right side, once you’ve figured it out takes ~4 seconds to get up

Key airframe stats:
- Dimensions (brackets are IRL values):
- Tail and rotors extended:
- L airframe: 19.5m (19.3m) L incl. rotors: 21.75m (22.75m)
- W airframe: 4.25m (4.55m) W incl. rotors: 17.25m (18.6m)
- H (gear down): 5.75m (5.2m)
-Rotor diameter: 17.25m (18.6m)

- Tail and rotors folded (hanger space required):
- L: 16m (15.75m) -3.5m on extended
-W: 5m (5.2m) +0.75m on extended
- H (gear down): 5.75m (5.2m)

- Airframe Weight: 3945 (wet)
- Max Payload Weight (assuming regular fuel load, no modular tanks): 6406
- Max-takeoff weight total: 10,351
- Top speed: 100knots (0 wind speed)
- Endurance:.-- (at max speed), -- (in hover)
Fuel prediction software isn’t tailored yet, will be fixed in the next week
- Max range: 220km+ (at max speed)
- Realistic nose-up hovering posture

Crew: 4 (Captain, Pilot, winch/camera operator, rescueman) Can be effectively crewed by 2 people, awkward but doable with 1.
Casualty capacity: 7 seated.
