If you aren't sure how to make a helicopter, this video by @walvis is excellent. https://www.simpleplanes.com/Videos/View/1530354/How-to-aggressively-go-up

Hey, just wondering what became of this challenge?
Oh hell no I am doing it immediately
Hello @belugasub, Where are the results? Have you marked yet?
@belugasub Welp, better late than never.
Even if it's not worth the wait...
Ahem
My entry's link
@belugasub
does a helicopter made as a plane count
I hope everything is going ok for you, if you've got stuff going on in your family don't worry about this. We can wait.
@belugasub Ok, I understand completely. mark it whenever you please
@windshifter1 i am not, recent family circumstances mean i will have to go to another country temporarily, i will be unable to do anything related this challenge until at least the 25th of April.
Hi, just reminding you, you are marking this soon?
@belugasub I know I said the MH-53 was my last submission but I unintentionally lied. Heres my final submission (Hopefully you'll accept it as the challenge isn't closed yet). :MI-24D
@belugasub I hope you don't take points off for this, but I discovered 2 parts in the cockpit werent attached and the right side lights weren't green on the MH-53 but i posted a fixed version. Hopefully that redeems it. You can find it on the MH-53s' pinned comments.
@JuanShot2Go thanks for entering! Results coming soon
Just wanted to say thanks to @belugasub for putting up this challenge. Been wanting to build a helicopter for ages and I kind of went nutz with it (sorry). Great entries here.
@windshifter1 tomorrow is when i will start the process.
When will you begin marking?
@belugasub My last minute and last submission:MH-53M It's nose heavy so you'll have to trim down to counter it.
Here is our Helicopter
@belugasub you’re a scholar and a gent thank you.
