Hello everyone, Supercraft888 here, and today I bring you my first official helicopter that uses the gyroscope to fly, I must say that it turned out wonderfully, I couldn't ask for a better outcome with this thing, of course, the amazing Liquidfox also helped, so do go pay him a visit and look at some of his stuff they are great.

I will be releasing an armed version around the same time tomorrow

---Instruction---
•To ascend raise VTOL up, go slowly
•To hover raise VTOL just slightly above the neutral
•To go forward, use pitch
•To roll, use roll
•To yaw, use yaw (yaw only works on low speeds)
•Combine roll and yaw in the same direction to do a super tight turn

---Description---
"Oh man, this here is my baby, took care of her the day I ordered her off the factory"
-A very happy farmer

The L-72 (otherwise known as "Guppy" for its shape) is an all purpose helicopter created by Fayland Industries. It's purpose was to create a cheap helicopter that's easy to manufacture, and easy to repair, while still being reliable. The L-72 is used across the world for its ease of use and reliability, most commonly used by farmers or various police forces.

It can hold up to 3 people internally, and 4 more on the outside if seating panels are placed, topping out at 7 people, it is crewed by 1 pilot and 1 co-pilot. It's maximum speed is somewhere around 180mph. Finally, it can lift over 3 tons of weight, albeit this puts incredible stress on the structure in the helicopter

    Yes, they are contra rotating, it eliminates the need for the tail rotors
