Helicopter

525 IronSword42  5.5 years ago

Not gonna lie, it looks kinda stupid. However, being my second ever helicopter (first thats not the size of a marshmallow) I'm decently happy with the results. Throttle for rotors (vertical), VTOL + AG1 for jets (forwards). It'll lift off the ground at about 85% throttle, and actually gets going pretty fast (roughly 300mph but haven't tested it to its full potential yet). Enjoy!

    I can give you a helicopter engine if you want one to use for this, I'll give you a link if you want. The body and overall shape of the helicopter looks very nice, but yeah the tiny little prop engine on top does look a bit silly.
