Auto Credit Based on RadarJamJar's Recon. helicopter with swash plate

A proper helicopter to go along with the Proper Quadcopter and Proper Hexacopter models I made. It has full 4-axis control. The main rotors are powered by a VTOL engine, with two exhaust nozzles on the tips, whereas the tail rotor is a standalone engine which controls yaw via blade pitch. I made it look like an RC helicopter for novelty reasons. And by the way, the cyclic assembly was ripped from some other guy's helicopter (should be linked in the title)
