Gator 2-B with Intermeshing rotors
New Rotor System for Gator2
I have modified the rotor system for the Gator-2, replacing with my new Intermeshing rotors. There is no tail rotor in this principle, instead, it uses the vertical and horizontal stabilizers.
CONTROLS:
Takeoff: Throttle 100%, than VTOL up 100%
Landing: Lower the VTOL, watch out the landing speed. if the defending speed is too fast, VTOL up again for a little. Heads up while landing. this will reduce the forward speed. Throttle down and VTOL Down to zero once touches the ground.

I have posted a "how-to" video for the intermeshing rotor Helicopters, which is slightly different compared to a regular helicopter.

Heli in the video: Husky-22

about Intermeshing rotors/synchropter
(Intermeshing rotors on a helicopter are a set of two rotors turning in opposite directions, with each rotor mast mounted with a slight angle to the other, in a transversely symmetrical manner, so that the blades intermesh without colliding. The arrangement allows the helicopter to function without a tail rotor, which saves power. However, neither rotor lifts directly vertically, which reduces efficiency per rotor.
This configuration is sometimes referred to as a synchropter.
Wikipedia)
Very few helicopters with this configuration has been produced. well, no wonder I have crushed for at least 50 times, spending about 6 hours for this crazy rotors.
