The Flettner Fl-282 was a German helicopter used for reconnaissance and sub hunting if my memory serves me correctly. Very few of these were produced. This project of mine was, I believe, originally back in 2019. The reason why I only now finished it is because I lost interest in SimplePlanes. School took priority, as well as my life at home. I did cheat a bit and place a gyroscope so it could actually turn. Being my first helicopter, I think it’s passable at best. Enjoy this crude looking piece of what many would title “Wunderwaffen”, even though it’s barely capable doing much both in this iteration and real life. AG8 to disable gyro. May post earlier pics later, but I doubt that I’ll remember.
