AH-6 Little Bird

Thorne’s AH-6 Little Bird



I’ve been toying around with my OH-6 replica and noticed that with a few minor changes I could swap that O for an A and make it an AH-6 Little Bird!

It’s a 1:1 replica, however the weapons and mechanisms I attatched to it are fictional (it’s more fun that way). I mechanically stabilized the cannons for easier aiming, and I used funky trees on the tail rotor to come up with a better ‘head hold’ mode.

There are a bunch of other funky trees experiments I tried with this but I’ve already forgot about a quarter of them at this point so have a look!

Throttle = Throttle
VTOL = VTOL
Roll/Pitch = Roll/Pitch
Trim = Cyclic Friction ( limits changes in attitude )

    I might, I just don’t want to be too repetitive, I’m thinking I’ll build a whole new helicopter around the rotor because all I did was modify the rotor XML properties of a previous build @WIZARD2017

    This thing is beautiful. You should definitely make more helicopters. Would you consider making a 1:1 UH-1 Huey gunship?

    I’m glad you enjoy it lol, this is quite a bit more forgiving than the real thing but I have a private replica R44 that’s as accurate as I can get it in an autorotation (as for now by feel) if you would like me to upload it, it’s hard to fly without simulator controls though @WIZARD2017

    I can land it safely when I shut the engine from 10k ft. Lol

    This is great, I enjoy making emergency landing with this helicopter pretending engine failure.
