OH-6 'Loach'

Auto Credit Based on Neruneten21's [CLOSED] Mobile Friendly Challenge

My Second submission to @Neruneten21 's Mobile Friendly Challenge: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Ld55vI/Mobile-Friendly-Challenge

I noticed a distinct lack of helicopters among the submissions, and therefore decided to make one to add a bit more variety.


the OH-6 'Locust', officially named the 'Cayuse' was a Light, fast, and Agile t and fast recon/utility helicopter developed in the 1960's, still in use today, It would later be developed into the well-known MH-6 'LittleBird' in the 1980's, and the AH-6 Attack variant.


If you would like the weaponised AH variant, which goes over then part limit, I have it unlisted Here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/U2ooN8/AH-6


This is one of the best helicopters I have made so far, and flies perfectly fine without a gyro, however I have included one, for those who prefer to fly with one.

The Cockpit was very difficult to create with the part limits, so I am very proud of the final result.
I also managed to create an interior for this one, however it is still quite primitive due to the part limit.
