Rotorcraft

I actually forgot the name for this....anyway. It was planned with "boxtail" and then bumped into some stupid propeller issues that force me to create something like this....I failed to make anything bigger than my tiny helicopter minatured heli, so I turned my sight into something similar, which is this. VTOL for the angle of the main rotor but it is suggested to keep the VTOL thing at the top during ALL times so the forward thrust will be utilized and turned into a upward lift after the wind hit the rotor. It is also suggested that one should turn on the gyro (group 8) because the rear propeller engine generate way too much torque (simple plane physics) and because the main blade will threaten to wobble the entire thing to pieces (simple planes physics......). But those does not stop it from being a unique sight.
Have fun.
