I don't know if everyone has this problem. But I know I have. Maybe its a common thing.
I find that this happens to me when I'm semi lucid, but not as lucid as I can be. I'll have trouble concentrating and focusing on exactly what I want. I'll end up putting so much focus into one object that I end up making it worse rather than better.
I found over time that actually putting less focus into things can help. Once you begin focus on one item, in your scenario a helicopter, and it doesn't turn out the way you want it, it creates this tension and frustration. Once that frustration starts, it begins to affect your dream state. Emotion can have a heavy effect on your dreams, and lucid dreams.
In this case the helicopter is too small and won't fly forwards. Good work around with making yourself small, this means you are in decent control. But when you were in the helicopter, did it feel like you were small and the helicopter was small, or did it resume back to a normal realitive size once you were inside it.
I find what helps me in the kind of situation, is basically lieing to myself. When summoning something that you intend to use and it doesn't show up correctly, tell yourself it did and go ahead and begin using it like you would normally. Open that door and try to get in.
What I think makes this work sometimes is forced time skips. In a normal dream, you'll be walking around with some ultimate goal you are trying to reach in some sort of scene created in your mind. You'll know exactly what you intend to do and you make attempts to fufill that. Suddenly, the story turns, and you are some where else doing something else, and you don't even remember what that other goal was. It's basically the same aspect except you are forcing it, and are aware of it.
The helicopter is too small, you reach down to get in and then fuzz things up a little bit in your mind, close your eyes or turn away and just imagin yourself in the helicopter, next thing you know, there you are and it didn't even matter that it was too small.
This can probably translate into making it move forward as well.
Also losing focus on an object and regaining focus can help as well. How are you flying this thing? Gas pedals? Joystick? Mind control? Lets say joystick. Move it forwards, and it's going backwards. Well that one doesn't work obviously, look for another one, suddenly there is another one...maybe this one works better.
This helps lower your frustration in the dream since you aren't trying to force something to work that, just won't, instead you just create something else that does work.
Being in control of your emotions helps you be in control of your dream.
Hope this helps...even a little bit.
