i cant understand ur Question. IS the RC Copter Upside down when the mission starts or does it get that way when u try to control it. (if its the later one then......)

i guess you dont use the "turn right/left while hovering" keys ( these are "look Left/Right" - "Q & E" keys in the "Controller Setup" Screen.) to turn the RC Copter. Dont use the Direction keys to turn Right/Left , this causes BANKING.

If its the first problem, then i'm sorry i dont know any solutions for that.



The Best thing you can do to enjoy the games is buy a
USB Dual Vibration GamePad, then you can fly , ride Or drive the vehicles with ease & little effort. Trust me if you are going to play-
GTA : San Andreas after GTA : VC then you'll definetly need a Game Pad.

After all it costs just around Rs.350-400.

If the RC Copter is Upside-down at the start itself, then i think you are using some CHEAT CODES, try it without the cheat codes.

If you dont use the cheat codes at all then you should post your query here.

I agree that the RC helicopter mission is tough and frustrating, but you must practice if you want to succeed. It tooked me 3 hours for practice and be a master. After that, I finished that mission like 7 times in a row again and again, not to mention I have finished Vice City 4 times 100% as it's my favorite game. If you find this mission hard, then think of the RC Plane race on the top of some mall and think of RC Car race on the beach, THEY ARE TOO HARD TO COMPLETE! Practice to achieve victory though. :)

If this is the first time you are playing this game, then dont Uninstall it, its really a nice game, coz then you'll see some charachter come-back in GTA SA.
like i posted above why dont you post your save game here or in gtaforums to enjoy the rest of the game.
