The Beetlecopter

1,036 NecroEddie  1.8 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Tonnkatu's Volkswagen Beetle

Based on an image i saw somewhere around of a homemade helicopter made from scrap, like the front of an old Volkswagen Beetle, cause that's a classic. pretty simple and stable controls, throttle to start the main rotor, VTOL to control the collective range (go up or down) and Group 1 to turn on the comically useless lights.

    @RepublicOfCursedPlanes, then where do you place your radiators and exhausts? Without them, your engine might overheat and have problems.

    Nice, but one question...
    .

    Where on earth do you put the engine and the radiator!?

    I would say that it’s the most normal helicopter in Ohio, but I think that joke’s dead now
