Hi Maik, thank you for offering help in translating your chapter about the Helicopters. But I am a little confused: I just compared the getstart.pdf chapter A Helicopter Tutorial with the wiki Flying the Helicopter - and on first sight they look exactly the same. What I do not understand: There is

I am very positive surprised that more people are interested in this project, than I thought! Some even offer actual help! That is very encouraging for me - I hope that will not get against me when I confess that I might not just do a word-by-word translation but also get some proposals for a
