AH-56 Cheyenne

719 Aleksey  6.8 years ago

This is my "Cheyenne". I made the helicopter unpretentious, but flying. Yes, it can fly and it can be controlled! I also armed it: 1x Minigun, 28x Unguided missiles (7 in each unit). The paint was restored from photos .
So, let's sum up:
+ flies and is controlled;
+ armed;
+ there are a number of details;
-complexities with control;
-complexity of take-off;
-unsatisfaction of fine detail.
Manual flight exhumation:
Take-off:
1. Pull Trim down to maximum;
2. ActivateAG1
3. Release the VTOL lever up and set to the position between the zero and the first mark.
Then exactlyly trying to maintain a smooth transition of VTOL helicopter up to the maximum.
When the speed of 250 mph is reached, the helicopter will be easier to control, before that it will always keep it as level as possible.
Once stabilizingzing the helicopter it becomes easier, you can disable the AG-1.
Flight us usual.
