Thank you! @goboygo1
They should all be built that way, per me, but people on SP often prefer "Model Out Of the Box" appearance and really don't care if it flys. I care. Thanks! @ProKillaV12
First helicopter in my life that actually drives instead of stall.
Cool!@Stingray
Thank you, this is an unusual model for me, it took awhile, glad you like the result. @Delphinus
Thank you @Eballaaa
FYI I'm thinking about building the Lockheed Cheyenne Helicopter prototype. It's subsonic, but well-armed. @Rohan
OK faster is possible, but the weight & control balance of this futuristic model are due to hours of work, so same body. If I ever decide to go faster. Dunno if I need faster. Is there a challenge? @Rohan
Faster, sleeker. @Stingray
Thanks @Viper28
OK, clarify -- all vertical (traditional) or futuristically faster? @Rohan
Improve! @Stingray
Thanks @ramjet -- FYI I believe @Rohan wants a supersonic helicopter challenge. Think this would do, or can I improve it?
Cool build
