Auto Credit Based on Helicopter's Heavy Lift Cargo Quad
Version 2 of my cargo quad. Controls are as follows AG1- Activates Collective Control (control height and power with VTOL not engine power), AG2- Activates Yaw Control (Be easy as it tilts the rotors), AG3- Forward Flight Mode (When flying like this I deactivated the yaw control), AG4- Ramp Control.

910 HelicopterBTW some helicopters do use engine exhaust for yaw. My bad9.5 years ago

910 HelicopterI ran out of room in the description. For this rotor craft I wanted to incorporate a yaw control w/o the use RCN nozzles. This is because I have never encountered rotor craft, which are in wide use, that have used such a control scheme. So now the rotors tilt back and forth for yaw. This change also forced me to move the rotators for fwd flight mode where the engines were previously. Moving the engines also gave this craft better handling in my opinion by slightly lowering the center of weight. I have received criticism that my quads are hard to control, and I agree. But I find playing them on a PC and not maxing out the collective control makes it very manageable. I play with the VTOL setting between the top two bars for takeoff and a tad bit lower for cruising in fwd flight mode. Yaw is a little touchy but along as you give it some gentle love it'll give you what you want. If your good w/ Paint schemes please give my plane a better paint job.9.5 years ago
