Because you're trying to fly the helo as if you were playing a shooter; nothing to be ashamed about, it just seems right, right? Well, it's not that straightforward. When you hit your steering keys, they don't do quite the same thing they do on the ground. Think about movement from the point of view of a helicopter: you are trying to tip it in the appropriate direction so you can get motion. You need to aim down to go forward, pull up to move backwards, roll left to strafe left, roll right to strafe right. Also remember that the mouse control is on an analogue plane (I think). Move forward, then re-centre the mouse position so you don't keep rolling forward and flip out.

Personally, I leave the flying to those who already have the practice; I'd rather do a job well and retain a good K/D and score than piss everyone off with my so-so helicopter skills. I'll take the gun, though. I'm good with the gun.
