Someone must have created this, right?

An actual helicopter with a functioning swashplate driven by a spinning engine instead of jets (mods are okay) + functioning tail rotors that aren't stock rotors. And is flyable. Without the gyroscope gizmo.

I mean you can point me to the right direction.

    I could possibly make one yes, but I would have to experiment some :) but at the moment life is busy @randomusername

    An actual swashplate is very difficult to make. Although i succeeded in making one, it drives me insane with the weird flight characteristics, dissymmetry of lift, and immense amount of weird connection glitch to the point that a regullar propeller part would do the job better with less part and complexity as the swashplate

    Yes. And it was beautiful.

    @randomusername ah, I hope they could do it if they're free. Definitely would love to see it

    @randomusername does that one use rotators? Well a swashplate definitely is hard to implement...
    Anyways, I'm looking for swashplate helis because it feels more helicopterish, and the thought of being able to watch the rotors cyclically tilt in midair is just super cool... so yah, that's what I'm looking for.
