@redbear89 feel free to take any parts from my HK you need ;)
if you need help in balancing a VTOL or a helicopter, I'm always happy to help with what I can.
If you're looking for a joystick to start with, I highly recommend the T.Flight Hotas 4 , It's a great hotas from beginner to pro, and it's not that expensive.
it has a twist grip, and it's got a pedal on the trottle that can be used as Yaw as well.
pedals are a problem... they're big and take space, not to mention usually expensive.
I'd recommend getting pedals only if you're serious about flying Heli's and such in simulators.
@Freerider2142 yes, i know about how important that pedals to control even maybe for non VTOL aircraft also.. I have ever try flight simulator with some plane there, it's so interesting.. With that tools we can control almost all in once, if i'm not wrong.. But again, poor me i don't have that tools.. :(
Thx for the link of HK aerial, maybe i can try to adopt some of your control system there for some of my aircraft latter if u allow me to do.. :)
@redbear89 I made this to fly and react to my control scheme, and be very maneuverable.
the biggest problem is that it's a very hard VTOL to fly and control.
and it also takes time to learn how to fly it.
I made the HK aerial to be more keyboard and mouse friendly, and be easier to fly. Here's a link
I come from simulators like DCS world and IL-2 Sturmovik series, where Flight control is much more realistic than Simpleplanes, and playing without a joystick is almost impossible.
A joystick and Throttle will give you much more control than keyboard and mouse, just because you're using both arms and have more inputs/buttons at your fingertips.
Once you start flying Helicopters or VTOLS however, Yaw control becomes extremely important, so Pedals are needed or a good Twist grip joystick. This is a link to my DCS helicopter stunt flight
Your joystick and pedals really help just like real hilo, great.. I mean, how about only using mouse and keyboard..? I have some VTOL design in my laptop, and i never upload it because i still try to manage all of the controls.. I have some trouble in moving left or right when the VTOL go forward..

@Freerider2142 Thx for help mate.. :) Sure, maybe someday i will meet the problem where i can't handle and i know i need u..
That hotas is very interesting, but in some reason maybe i will keep with my mouse and keyboard to control the aircraft as good as i can..

@Yeetboii Thank you, glad you like it :D
This is actually very cool!
@Lizardman06 hope this helps in flying it, or in whatever builds you make.
@ThePilotDude @DPSAircraftManufacturer @JohnnyBoythePilot Thank you, I hope this helps :)
@MisterT Thank's m8!
@MintLynx Thank you very much, I hope you have fun flying it :)
Nice! Simple and effective instruments panel.
I like how that thing has a built in HUD which shows you the attitude of the engines. Not only great for aesthetics, but useful as well!

I hope this helps in flying it...
and maybe help in your own VTOL aircraft designs :)
