Alpine Rotorwing-Pax

2,624 Ravenblack  8.1 years ago

Passenger and cargo carrying 'Old School' large scale rotor assisted converted bomber (see previous rotorwings).

Gentle stick forward at 150mph to get the tail to lift, then as speed increases, bring the stick back to take flight.

It doesn't handle like a fixed wing aircraft, and it doesn't handle like a helicopter...

It takes a steady hand to land... too fast and you run out of runway, too slow and she'll lose ROC too quickly. Get it all right and she's a dream to fly.
