Players complained of their heli's hitting invisible walls while flying in game chat tonight along with a post in #Help.
The situation sounded similar to boats bouncing off the VIP Recycler so it was tested.
2 players, Aurora and myself tested this in a scrap heli. While flying if a player triggers their Recycler while aiming slightly down the heli would collide with it. We were able to reproduce consistently.
If you need to reproduce it the easiest way is to stand 1 step behind copilot seat in back of scrap, aim around the bottom of the seat post. Any where in the bottom of the heli can do it but I can get it get each time looking at the seat post.
Screenshot included for lols.(Heli was at full health before testing)
