Tips & Strategy

🎯 Timing is Everything:

Don't hold the controls too long - small, controlled movements work best

👀 Look Ahead:

Plan your path through upcoming obstacles rather than reacting at the last moment

🌊 Use Momentum:

The helicopter has realistic physics - use its momentum to glide through tight spaces

💎 Stay Centered:

Try to fly through the middle of gaps when possible for maximum safety margin
