Just dabbling with helicopters. I'm still working on a larger sea project that I needed a break from as I had builders block...no pun intended! It flies fairly well, but has a slight roll to the left which I can only figure to be because of it having a single rotater. Throttle up to 100% and use group activator 6 to release from the helipad. Activator 1 fires the missiles and there are several moving parts. The rear rotator blades are spun by reaction nozzles. Enjoy!

    This is the best helicopter I've ever flown!! All I want (except for world domination) is to fly this chopper! Or as Arnold would say, "GET TO DA CHOPPA!! DO IT NOW!"

    Make a Blackburn buccaneer :) I'm making a Blackburn monoplane no.1 (1909) /trying to whilst deciphering the only photo that's extremely bad quality and black n white, so there will be an ancient Blackburn and their best jet fighter on the site at the same time and both in amazing detail :)

    @Authros yeah btw do u have any tips for my future line of jets and the hawker hurricane night fighter I'm working on? I have most of their fuselages any tips on how to get stability and Handling better? I get lots of complainers cause my jets are hard to fly......

    @PlanesOfOld I've tried the same buy with no real joy on stability yet. That's why I'm excited to see what lift the new props can give. It's not primarily a helicopter rotor but should be modable.

    @Authros cool I've been messing around trying to Crete lift with spinning flat bottom wings at an angle but lol it creates loads of vibrations and is impossible to controll :)

    @PlanesOfOld the VTOL nozzles provide the lift. I modify the maximum angle in which they can tilt to about 15 or 20 degrees and be operated by the throttle. When the new props are available I'll revisit these and update them.

    @gg1234 Just a note about the pad. I initially didn't have one and modded an engine enough that a pad was not required but I am all about the visual look. I didn't like the long trails produced from the thrusters. The pad actually consists of several engines that have been modded down to 50% to reduce the length of the thruster trails, and that's the reason why I used it. :) When the new prop comes out and there is a better way of producing lift than VTOL engines I'll release a new version.
