I didn't really make a lot of changes, but I wasn't quite happy with the last one.... Here's the things I've changed:
I fixed the malfunctioning artificial horizon
Modified the function of the gauges
Modified flight characteristics to make it fly straighter/more stable
Changed the paint scheme
Added fuel
And the rest is the same.
Flight characteristics are heli normal:
Throttle -- rotor speed
pitch and roll -- cyclic pitch
VTOL -- collective pitch (rotor pitch)
Yaw -- yaw
Trim -- used to maintain forward flight (watch your altitude)
AG1 -- strong gyro (cyclic lock sorta)
AG7 -- 3D mode (aggressive collective pitch) I'd recommend leaving this alone.
AG8 -- weak gyro (should be left on unless you're a great pilot)
Thanks very much to @Leehopard for the rotor assembly and thank you to @Planedude for the awesome artificial horizon.
That is all. Thank you for checking out my heli! :)

Umm no I don’t have a specific model in mind... I have this one photo of an ultralight coaxial heli but I can’t find any information about it so... yeah. Sorry I can’t be more specific...@Leehopard
@Hyattorama Okay, any specific or reference model?
Thank you so much man you are so cool! Let me know if there’s any way I can repay you...
I was hoping to get a rotor assembly like this one (MFH-300), with the skinny three blade setup. Except this time I need one with a bit shorter blades, and a coaxial. So six skinny blades, slightly shorter, in a coaxial assembly. Sound good? @Leehopard
@Hyattorama yup sure
Hey @Leehopard , is there any chance I could prevail upon you to make one more rotor assembly for me? Pretty please? :/
Thank you so much! And also; honestly, both of you build mechanisms that are completely baffling and awe inspiring. I know you’re just being modest but don’t sell yourself short! Haha :) @BaconAircraft
@Hyattorama Yeah that's fine. He makes some amazing mechanisms that I cannot come close to replicating. Great heli you got here though.
@BaconAircraft when I first started out building this heli, I was planning on using your “experimental swashplate” rotor assembly. But then I decided I needed three blades (and also some help) so I called upon @Leehopard instead hahah... but I really like that heli of yours!
Aww thanks man!!! :) @XjayIndustrys
looks better thou
off topic but what would a good laptop be?
How original it looks? Well, thank you my friend :)
But it is based on the schweizer 300. Though I did take a little artistic license... and also I made it way blockier in order to make the windscreen bubble out of only one fuselage part haha XD @XjayIndustrys
Wow hey thanks for another upvote!! Haha :) @FastDan
Ayy I cant get over how original it looks
@Hyattorama Ey,it's okay.
@FastDan I deleted the post you upvoted cause I forgot to add fuel. So I posted this one. But thank you very much for your upvote on the last one! :)
