I am uploading this for feedback only, not a finished product. This helicopter uses only lift from the rotor and cyclic pitch and roll. VTOL is used for powering the main rotor only and does not provide lift or control. I haven't explored many helicopters by other people but I haven't seen any like this yet. Although I'm sure someone is working on the same idea.
Hit detachment 1 and throttle to 100%, use VTOL to climb and descent.

5,514 Verdnan@Thebrendon55c No not the first to use collective pitch, but that's not what I'm going for. I want to have control of it through the rotor as opposed to to using RNC thruster. I would like to possibly have a tail rotor and if feasible a swashplate like mechanism for the main rotor.9.3 years ago
