Where do I start on scripting a helicopter?

I have been learning how to code for a while and recently I have been trying to script a basic helicopter but I don’t know where to begin.

I know there’s stuff like body movers but I cant find any great tutorials on it.

Right now I’m trying to figure out how to make the helicopter respond when I touch a key on the keyboard but cant find out what Instance it is or if its something else.

Hey, I believe you might be talking about the User Input Service. Here is what the dev hub has on it: UserInputService | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

As for the helicopter, I have never made anything like that, so I am of no help there. However, I assume that using BodyMovers might be the way to go.

Here’s a copter I made for someone a while ago from a very simplistic images he supplied. When I built it (for free) he complained that I couldn’t build. Had he supplied me with a better image of what he wanted I would have built it to that standard, but oh well…
It uses @EgoMoose’s Easy Aircraft Seat V1, which due to updates is a bit twitchy, but you may learn a lot from it nonetheless.
