Auto Credit Based on LAZERETCHED's Chinook

Set VTOL slider control to the 3rd bar down from the top cursor. Full throttle, the rolling start will lift you off prior to the runway's end. Keep banking minimal. NEVER allow the aircraft pitch to exceed 30 degrees; a 10 degree climb is best. At 13,000 feet, level the speed should remain around 200 mph. Enjoy the test; feel free to modify!

    NOTE to all, I've aready posted 2 helicopters that fly at twice this speed, with superior stability, yet they do not use the fore/aft rotor on this model.

    @Planecrafter and @LAZERETCHED I posted "Working Chinook Trainer" which has improved balance & steering. I've had best rotor control with the blades set about 25-30 degrees downward, rather than the max 45 degrees. To all: these SP rotors do not have variable camber (like real helicopters).

    Note 2: I just tested the dowloaded Chinook again, at 21,000 feet 25 percent of fuel remained. This model is really for adventurous test pilots. All my tests so far are on my ipad.

    Good idea but not perfect... The steer is not exactly

    CORRECTION: Set VTOL slider to 4th bar from the top (one full tick below middle).
