Auto Credit Based on RadarJamJar's Eurocopter Tiger

This chopper is fully manual.

Credit to Visify for the piston engine and RadarJamJar for the Swashplate and rotors.

- VTOL up to start the rotors.

IMPORTANT - make sure they rotate in the right direction. Nudge up a little and then all the way up.

- Throttle to produce lift (20 to 30% to take off from water).
- TRIM will adjust the rear rotor to steer and fine tune.
- Pitch and Roll for Pitch and Roll.

Other notes:
- Approx. 40 to 50% lift for cruising.
- Use small movements at first.
- This does have a gyro for stability, AG8 to turn off.
- Use 10% lift for landing.

Enjoy
SR.

    @Thedarkyoutuber You need to power it up slowly to get the rotation going in the right direction

    I found a folder that says plugins, this might be it, I don't want to accidentally break the game. (nothing says mods) @SpiritusRaptor
