Hello,

would it be possible to send us the video of the issue so we can see what the problem might be?

Helicopter is not the same vehicle as a jet and needs to be treated accordingly. While turning on a spot is much easier for it in high speeds, it can be hard and you need to use combination of Cyclic control (A/D) and the Pedals control (Q/E) - with default control keys.
If you are referring to the Pedals control, when using this in flight (moving forward), these controls cannot be used to "steer" the helicopter, it's not a car, in flight Pedals are used only to adjust the direction so helicopter does not enter sideslide and does not crash.

Piloting a helicopter in Arma 3 can be a little bit tricky, I would recommend that you go through the basics in the Tutorials Virtual Training first.
