DDG 03 and my first helicopter

2,697 SweptBackWing14  6.8 years ago

This is my first helicopter I ever built. Please excuse its quality. The scout helicopter uses roll and pitch to turn. This way, it does not interfere with the ship's controls. 4 is to activate the engines, and 7 launches the scouting helicopter. The ship is a guidded missile Destroyer capable of ground to air, and ground to ground combat. The main gun is capable of ground to ground and ground to air combat as well. VTOL to turn, and Trim to elevate. 1-2 fire missiles. 1 is ground to ground, and 2 is ground to air. Throttle and Yaw control the ship.
