Help! How do you build helicopter?

Hello, I've been trying to build a helicopter for awhile now and recently I've been having no luck it keeps going backwards or flips over, any suggestion on how to make it better?

    Check out my helicopter concept. it's based off real design, except for the turbines. I'm in the early stage of the design, but if you check it out, let me know what you think of it.

    I made a helicopter, that is, if helicopters are supposed to barrel roll,loop the loop and smack into the ground

    What is the shaft of the helicopter? Is that the tail area?

    @Supercraft888 you have to be able to balance the helicopter. If you add rotors to a shaft that connects to the propeller, then you can move backwards and forwards or left and right

    No I already have a propeller engine (thx ShatteredAviation)
    But what I'm asking for is like where should the COM or COT be? I tried directly on top of the COT but that make it tip over for some weird reason, any other building tip?

    I already have a 100 inch prop you can use. If you need a particular length let me know it only takes a few minutes. Also horse power and so on will be needed as you wont be able to change it later unless you get me to change it or learn xml editing. It looks hard but is easy to pick up.

    You need to xml mod to make the propellers big enough. If you can't do that someone can probably do it for you, or you can creat a sub assembly of the rotor of a heli that someone uploaded
