This was a relatively quick build. I started it while I was building the A-20. Hence why I'm uploading this so quickly after the A-20. I haven't built a helicopter for over 1.3 years. So I know very little about the best ways to make one fly. I did my best but it's definitely a bit tricky. But I hope you guys appreciate the effort!
Thanks to BogdanX for tips on the helicopter!

Lol just flew on one today with the raven II on it but it was bright red, amazing helicopter though
在刚刚过去的五月二日，中国西安白鹿原景区有一架罗宾逊R44乌鸦II坠毁了，机上三人死亡（全部）。
Oh you've flown a real r44? And thanks for the feedback, very interesting.@Thorne
I’ve done a good amount of time on the R44, just thought I’d mention I think the yaw is fine, in fact I think it’s stronger than in the real thing, but it doesn’t matter either way since realistic helicopter flight controls are pretty much impossible to nail lol, great details! @Hedero (thought I’d give my own opinion like the comment below because that yawing problem sounds like a glitch because I didn’t get it)
Oh I see what you mean. Yeah this was my first time building a heli in ages so I don't know the best methods to making one fly good or anything. Sorry for the unrealistic flight characteristics.@Numbers
I'm a bit confused sorry.@Numbers
Thank you@KnightOfRen
Oh I really appreciate you for wanting to do that but there is nothing about being a mod that I would want. I personally enjoy being a regular member and I don't want to have to watchdog everyone. So I think I'm good.@KnightOfRen
Thanks@KnightOfRen
Oh no. It'll get done whenever it get's done. Right now I'm dealing with a cold so I don't fancy building too much right now.@KnightOfRen
Yeah, it's also pretty hard to make lol.@KnightOfRen
I'm trying to get an XP-56 done. I just got the landing gear to work properly.@KnightOfRen
Well you could make an unlisted upload and tag me on it.@WolfSpark
@Hedero thanks, I did a re-creation of them instead of using them. I used the rotators and stuff with FT on them tho, i mean I would show you but they don’t have private Forums posts xd
O @Hedero
Go ahead dude! I didn't respond cause I was campin'.@WolfSpark
He left@Yalikejazz79
Thank you!@Viper3000ad
Oh ok.@Yalikejazz79
What happened to BogdanX I can’t find him eny more
Classic. Good job !
I think it’s my P40 kittyhawk (with royal Australian Air Force livery)
or my P-400 @Hedero
@Hedero do you mind if I use your A-20’s engines and wings to reference off? Because, if you don’t want to build a B-26 I might. I’ll credit you, like I usually do, that Cool with you? (Tried to ask on the actual A-20 post, sorry to bother)
Hmm, planning a few days in advance doesn't really work for me. Cause you know, I have to share a pc with my bro. It's a little difficult but when I get back on sunday, and if I can manage to get on and hopefully stay on for a little bit, we could try to play together. But I sometimes have stuff to do so I couldn't guarantee that I would be able to stay on for a long time. But, what is your highest ranked plane? Just so I know what to use if we play together.@Yalikejazz79
Ok that’s reasonable. Can you make a time to go on?
