Choppers have a long warm up period over 1 minute. Trying to take off to soon will flip you.
You should play a while without flying on a new server to see if you get any lag spikes. If you do don't fly on the server. Nothing is worse than having a load of troops with you when you get lag. Your not the first person to crash because of it, but it sure sucks when it happens to you!
You might want to test fly the scout chopper first as well. If it handles well chances are the other chopper will too. ( tip - try flying through some smoke)
Good luck

i tried again 2day and configured my joystick 2 handle just the way i want and i was sitting on carrier 4 good 2minutes and i get solid 70 ping on all US servers and no lag spikes

Make sure your joystick bindings are on the secondary set.
Keep in mind BF2 doesn't support 3D cockpits so when ever you use mouse look your controls lock.
Keep in mind if you like to fly - turning down video setting will smooth out flying without losing any game play.

i don't use mouse look and 2day i played on again and when i was flying normal huey i was totally fine but than hopped into attack huey and after waiting around 2 min 2 warm up and get my orders i slowly got into air and half way 2 my target i started spinning counter clock wise and couldn't stop it so i landed somehow and let my co-pilot fly us back after apologizing and i have check my controls 4 everything and make sure they are set up properly and im running pr w/ all settings max and 100fps
