*****To Fly: AG1 is cyclic control, AG2 is Rotors with VTOL slider as power. AG3 and VTOL is Bay door. AG4 controls gunner seat(you can disable AG1 cyclic while in a stable forward flight to shoot on all axis without effecting flight). AG7 and throttle is wheels. do not use AG6.
Flying note: VTOL half way up is a nice stable climb, full VTOL up is for fast climbing, but it will pitch up. Just below VTOL half up is hover.
This one Ive been saving for a special occasion. Figured the with launch of the new update, this would be good to share. Thanks to @Authros for the fuel tanks. The gun is modded to replicate the GAU-21/A machine gun. It also has a tow attachment on the bottom to add objects to the middle rotator. Enjoy!

@weebabyseamus agreed
Ok.
I recommend trying the updated version, which has 3 engines. It’s still hard to fly and 1.3 years old, but it has a gyro to help. Just a heads up, but 2.8 years is a little late for constructive criticism to do any good on most builds. There are usually a lot of changes to the game between then and now. @Jim1the1Squid
Your version has 4 engines, and the real version has 3. Overall, rather hard to control. Sorry, VERY hard to control, unless you're used to very tiny adjustments in pitch, roll, and yaw. Also, after a little bit, the helicopter loses yaw control. In other words, I can't turn the chopper after a while, and it crashes and burns.
I only know all of this because I tried it out, and my Dad's a mechanic for this type of helicopter.
@weebabyseamus
@Planefun well I hope I do it justice, seeing this thing flying in the air is enough for me to be in awe, but to ride in one, that's truly an experience I hope to have some day from a civilian's perspective. Awesome you got to experience it first hand. The new one should be posted by the time you read this.
@Planefun I will now thanks to you!
The propeller might work on the Albatross Mk II gunship.
@KevinMurphy there's an aircraft I like to enter into your stream/race thing. Could you guys race it when it's complete?
That's its literal name
drpdrp created a penis plane :/
Nvm I found out myself. :P
The only problem was that I was having trouble getting it to even move. Could you help me out with that?
Epic
Yes! You broght back the old heli
Soooooo Cool!! This is great!!!
Really like the helicopter... To big for my phone. And im glad to see your still uploading. Most devs dont do so often
Damn dude this thing is beautiful :]
@KevinMurphy huh. well I don't know how to mod unfortunately so i'll just take your word for it. still, amazing job!
Yeah that's strange. I actaully modded the engines for actual HP of the real thing, and adjusted the pitch of the blades so it has the same rate of climb. If it barely takes off with the VTOL slider all the way up, then there is a problem. You can adjust the Max Range from 9.5 to something higher in XML of the main prop engine. That should get it off the ground. @Dynimerous
@KevinMurphy Ok i just realized that :/
on my mac the rotor barely has enough power to lift it. idk maybe u modded the the prop for more power and my mac didn't get the memo?
Not sure what you mean, the elevation is controlled by the VTOL slider. AG2 is the engines. @Dynimerous
This is so cool but I couldn't actually get it to fly. the rotor angle was set on neutral. I'll set it differently, but was that intentional?
where is your building sorry for the questions
andrews
anders title should be mastermind
