Do you know if helicopters are featured in this?

 

[WR2]

No helicopters at the moment.
It's pretty clear the 'raison d'être' is to sell stuff (more aircraft, scenery packs, etc.,). No telling when the first helo will show up.

Just two free aircraft ATM - Stearman open cockpit bi-plane and Icon A5 experimental amphibious personal LSA (light sport aircraft). Behind the paywall there is just the P-51 Mustang and the Maule M7 STOL aircraft.
