As im sure you all know, the recent 1.6 update added a new gyroscope part to the SimplePlanes inventory. This addition has allowed me to improve upon my "Kestrel" helicopter series. I am proud to present the Hummingbird, a variant of the Kestrel with an added gyroscope, and removed complexities. This helicopter is similar to Hummingbird 2, but with added guns, unguided rockets and air to ground inferno missiles. this helicopter is very easy to fly. To takeoff, move throttle to 100%, then move the vtol slider up gradually. The helicopter ill begin to rise. Once the desired altitude has been reached, the aircraft can be made to hover by adjusting the vtol slider. Pitch, roll and yaw do what you expect them to do. The trim slider adjusts the angle of the rotors, allowing to to move slowly forwards or backwards without adjusting the pitch. Hope you enjoy.
