That looks like Retreating blade stall.. It's what limits helicopter speed IRL.
Think of the rotor blades as they spin, one side heading into the flight direction (Advancing blade), one heading away from flight direction (retreating blade).
If the blades speed is 100MPH, and you are flying at 100MPH:
the Advancing blade gets 200mph of lift, while the Retreating blade gets 0MPH of lift, causing it to Stall, and the advancing blade's lift causes the roll.
hope this helps @2Papi2Chulo
That’s really cool, I made a Blackhawk that flew at similar speeds, I didn’t know custom made rotors with vtol nozzles on the tips could even make it move that fast. Now, about your problem, I don’t technically know the answer but I’ll just say this. Gyros are the real deal, but they do come with downsides. It’s been a long time since I created a helicopter, I only edit my stuff now.
The blades might be spinning too slow, when you travel at speed X the speed at which the blades are moving backward may be the same as speed X thus the left side doesn't generate any speed. 2. you need a propper swashplate.
Similar thing happens to me. Helicopter flies real nice at the start, and then when it hits a certain speed it pitches down and controls have no effect on it.
@BaconEggs I slowed it down and added a minor bit of roll fbw and now it the most stable heli i've ever flown (okay maybe thats a lire). but its a lot better
@BaconEggs I do. But the actual rotor producing life spins clockwise so it doesn't make sense why it would snap to the left. The big one on top is fake.
However I think limiting the speed with more drag should help resolve the issue.
@2Papi2Chulo no¿ do u not know what retreating blade stall is
also 158 knots is the max speed of the thing jsut it looks like the rpm is just a bit low
Ok, I have found this to work really well during experimentation with helicopters, you need to place some gyros right directly on the CoT and CoM, they should have XML code/variables that makes them activate when, say, tilted 35 degrees or so.
is it a mod where you can see underwater

how to fix?
make main rotor spin faster.

@2Papi2Chulo Not really complicated to make a simple fly-by-wire system. Honestly, sin(RollRate) may workout for you alone..

@BaconEggs goo goo ga ga
@BaconAircraft sounds complicated. I'll try thank thanks
@BaconEggs I thought it was that but the actual rotor spins the opposite way. Ill still try and counteract that though
@BaconEggs I concur.
Instead install fly by wire.
retreating blade stall (jjust dont exceed the max speed lole)
(also dont listen to 50 cal chicken gyros are for babies)
@50CalChicken I tried that but It lmits the movement when of the heli in normal operations too.
