Whats the trick to quickly turn around a chopper?

[Coderedpl]

I see many times when people fly they turn the choppers around so fast.

Whats the trick to that?

Cut the throttle completely and then make a quick turn and crank up the throttle again. Also while you do that, do a small dive while turning to speed it up.

I usually cut the throttle and turn the thing onto its side and pull up, then level back out.

i never really cut the throttle, i turn it sideways and spin it while going backwards, but thats if im not being chased, thats for hitting a tank or capturing a CP

wow ive never tried a radical spin while moving back wards.... course i usually orient myself in the direction im going (i turn around first). I oughta try that.

If I have no gunner I hit F2 and let the chopper's torque rotate the chopper, if I do have a gunner I give it full power and put the chopper into a dive giving me a smaller turning angle rather then having the chopper level. This methond can't be done at low altitudes obviously.
