vukster@gmail.com 75 Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) all you need is ONE single piece of scrap metal and a jerry can.That is ALL! you don't need the rotor,engine parts, glass etc etc at all!The chopper will fly if you just repair the vertical rotor using scrap metal, and ofcourse you need two Jerry cans minimum so you can fly to the nearest gas tank to fill up.so simple!

Welch (DayZ) 756 Posted October 27, 2012 You know the fuel drains when not everything is repaired, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vukster@gmail.com 75 Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) You know the fuel drains when not everything is repaired, right?ofcourse but this is enough to get you flying so you can land near a fuel tank, then you can fuel up and take the heli to a factory to hunt for other parts to repair to full.but to get the chopper flying all you need is fuel and ONE single piece of scrap metal to fix the vertical rotor Edited October 27, 2012 by vukster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vukster@gmail.com 75 Posted October 27, 2012 also another tip, you will use LESS fuel if you DON't hold down Q while flying.Hit Q once to get the rotors started, wait about 30 seconds, then hold Q to hover up and as soon as you clear the trees let go of Q, try NOT to use the Q button to fly and you will last longer in the air.

Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted October 27, 2012 So the best way to repair a chopper is to find all the right stuff and fix it with no short cuts! I wouldn't want a chopper half built with all the AS50's out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vukster@gmail.com 75 Posted October 27, 2012 You'll also fly slower, thus taking longer to get to the gas station.you can still tap forward to have momentum and you.will fly well over 100 mph but as long as you dont SPAM the Q key your fuel will last longer.

Bludy 324 Posted October 27, 2012 i tried to fly in arma 2 tutorial and i don't want to do it again in dayz..but i wouldn't stay in a heli that can go down with a makarov round..sure it can be better to have it soon and take some risk than coming back and seeing it is gone..

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted October 27, 2012 News just in. You can't down a heli with a makarov. There's a cool vid I'm waiting on that may disprove this. I think it may be uploaded any day now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted October 27, 2012 But he promised the vid was on it's way and that was only 4 months ago. Maybe he has a slow internet connection. I live in hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
