Auto Credit Based on MDippold1995's simple attack chopper

it's a nightmare to fly..... but it works. I'm trying to make my own swashplate but for now I'm using one made by sauce. just as this one rolls to the right so do all of mine. I'm considering to scrap the idea and further improve the mk III flight controls so that it better simulates swashplate movement and keeps its stability. Any help as to why swashplate designs like to roll or turn (I made a ch47 version to see if offset rotors that counter rotate (one was mirrored as well) would be successful but it would spin) would be very much appreciated

    I tried this a while back, but forgot to upvote. I know your next version after this is a awesome creation and flys really good.

    If you are ok with using gyros, I tried a gyro on this and set speed and stable to max. and pitch, roll and yaw to 50. It flew good. This is a complex propeller to, I noticed it moves with pitch and roll on shared with vtol controls, this can make flying hard. You got some great ideas though, keep it up.
