The Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion
is a heavy lift helicopter operated by the United States military. As the Sikorsky S-80, it was developed from the CH-53 Sea Stallion, mainly by adding a third engine, adding a seventh blade to the main rotor, and canting the tail rotor 20°. It was built by Sikorsky Aircraft for the United States Marine Corps. Developed in the 1970s, it entered service in 1981, and is planned to be in service into the 2030s. It is one of the largest military helicopters in service, and is operated from U.S. Navy ships or from land.
Controls: the usual, there is a gyro on the activation group 1 which gives it auto level and trim angle for hands off stick

My favourite American heavylift helicopter

@MsMuseumJanitor To advise you, I would keep the rotor's scale at 1,1,1. It's not a very good idea to scale rotors or prop engines as it may change their flight properties. it's better to edit the vanilla settings for blades size etc, you can even exceed the normal limits with xml, but not the scale.
@SilverStar indeed, I try very hard to not use gyro but it degrades controllability a ton because I am not used to making helicopters.
Sadly it's very difficult to fly
@ComradeBazookaBall what was it like? I don't play on PC
If only the SP2 playtest was still a thing...
It looks So cool!
