In 2009, it was reported that Boeing was working on the "AH-6S Phoenix" for the US Army's restarted ARH program, named Armed Aerial Scout. The AH-6S design is stretched by to allow room for other ARH crew shot down in combat to be recovered. The aircraft also would feature an extended aerodynamic nose to house avionics hardware, composite blades and improved engines.

Inspired by @maxteoz recent helo builds, I thought I'd give it a go. Admittedly more of a model as it's not very stable but has been a good experiment with modding rotators. See my S-97 for a more stable flier.

Group 1 to rotate rotors

    @deshipro, interesting, I haven't had a problem taking off, just keeping it under control. Maybe try a different physics level.

    @coolplanemaker, as I said in the description, this is mostly a model, not for flying. As advertised.

    The main rotor housing is genius, it actually can fly instead of being a nice model helicopter with spinning blades. I'm tired of trying to make those fly.
