BACKGROUND
The RX-216 heavy utility helicopter, developed by (fictional) Ray Industries, is a proven workhorse built for dependable performance in challenging environments. This unit is owned by O-SAR, the Search and Rescue division of OMUA, and is outfitted for lifesaving missions. Featuring a raised cockpit design for enhanced visibility and operational safety, the RX-216 is engineered for versatility across utility, transport, and support roles. Its spacious cargo bay allows for flexible mission configurations, and includes a drop-down floor for rappelling, while the robust construction and advanced avionics ensure reliable operation in all weather conditions. Whether lifting equipment, delivering supplies, or supporting field operations, the RX-216 delivers trusted capability with classic Ray Industries durability.

INSTRUCTIONS
Turn on the "Engines Power", which is located in the centre console. The jet engine will start automatically. When warmed up and spinning at idle, hit the "Rotor Clutch" and you are ready for flight. The system switches and light switches are located on the centre console.
TIPS
- The helicopter tends to yaw to the left when in start-up mode, this can be countered by pressing yaw right and applying wheel brakes. Alternatively, don't engage the rotor clutch until the engines are in idle mode, this will prevent any spinning.
- When making a precision landing, use the "UNDR" camera, align the helicopter, toggle position hold, and descend.
