    @Makerofplanes There is a "reverse rotation" button on the heli rotors, set it to "True" on one rotor, and "False" on the other, doesn't matter which is which as long as the rotors are on top of each other

    But with a coaxial heli there is 2 rotors, so how would I do that and on which one?@TheKraken3

    I'd recommend taking a look at helicopters of other players, see how they make it stable and fly properly, then try to recreate how they did it

    Put the center of mass exactly under the helicopter's main rotor

    If the main rotor rotates clockwise, then the heli will rotate counter clockwise due to torque, so a tail rotor must be put on on the LEFT side to get rid of the torque, vice versa if the main rotor moves counter clockwise

    Of course you can get rid of the tail rotor if you do a coaxial heli, where a rotor is clockwise and there's another rotor on top of it that is counter clockwise.

    But always, ALWAYS put your center of mass under your rotor.

    Hope I helped.

    If im gonna make a helicopter i will use rotor that made up from wings, rotator and VTOL tip jets, i still don't like even if its already here a long time ago the helicopter rotor, its hard to control and fly, i rather use tip jets for the rotor

    @Makerofplanes uhhhh.... you should learn to make helicopters by learning from other’s creation (in my opinion)
