(My best creation to this date)

(Made with the power of MUSIC)

Introduction

Hello, welcome. Three weeks ago, I started to build a prototype for this craft. I made three versions from then; Tano WIP, Tano WIP2, and Tano WIP3 (WIP means Work In Progress, I use it to organize my prototypes and projects). In the end, Tano 2 won in my mind (started testing them all one week ago). In this weeks of trials, I learn countless new techniques (Nudging mainly and some fuselage building skill). The nose took four hours to build. But in the end, it was worth it. Now that you know what I put my time, heart, and mind to this build, it's time for my favorite part of my description. Putting in so much lore that I can right a book about it.

LORE

In 2020, Mercy Aircraft Corporation launched it's sister company, Mercy Helicopters and Drones. Their first challenge was to create a civilian helicopter, the H-29 Explorer, an easy to fly two propped helicopter. After seeing it's easy handling, the Jundroo Air force signed a contract to have the company to produce 1000 of these crafts. After a bit of tweaking, the H-29 turn into the A/H-41 Tano.

Info

Type- Attack Helicopter/ Trainer
Armament- Four FGM-148 Javelin; one 50 Cal. machine gun; 14 1.75 inch rockets
Year of introduction: 2020
Planned year of retirement: 2050

Action (ACT.)
ACT.1: Turn on all engines (Throttle for prop; vtol slider for jet engine)
ACT.2: Arm all weapons
ACT.3: Pull up nose for radar maintenance (Pull VTOL slider all the way down)
Note. Radar dish is suppose to be gold, but I forgot to recolor it after moving craft to replace Challenge craft)

Credits
:Main build: Me
:XML parts: iriaf (Gyro, 50 Cal.; and prop horsepower)

Notes

(The reason I used other XML parts from other peoples builds is the fact that I can't do it myself ((Iphone))
(Roll and pitch work: arms move to right joystick)
(Jet engine is good for quick ascents and down descents)
(Use Yaw for quick turning and roll for slow turns)
(Use Yaw and roll at same time to make faster turns)
(This is my first helicopter ever)

Please upvote for because it took a lot of hard work, and not just me, other people too. Some people spend 6 months building their creations. Show support.

Color Scheme Reasoning:
I am a big star wars fan, and by big, I mean BIG. Since the upload of the Clone War Trailer, I thought it was only fitting that I designed the color scheme after Ahsoka Tano, one of my favorite characters.

Final notes

I spent over 40 minutes typing this description. Also, I want to thank mikoyanster for creating these challenges. It helps me grow and learn how to build better and more detail crafts. So thank you mikoyanster, I owe you for helping me evolve into a better builder.

Thank you for reading this long description. And as always. Have a great day or night.

    H-29 will come out after the Attackcopter Challenge is complete. I'm sorry for the lack in part count. I couldn't add too much weight or the copter wouldn't be able to get of the ground. I also thought the color would best describe me as a person. I love star wars and have a upbeat personality.
