Narrative:
Two helicopters were doing touch and goes between runway and taxiway. One left the area; I took on fuel. I then did my run-up; called on CTAF that I was taking runway 12. It was a straight out. As I lifted off I saw a red helicopter and made left bank. I did not hear anything on the radio.
