Overview: the D410 "Nighthawk" is the armed version of the D400 series of helicopters. The dual-rotor design eliminates the need for a tail rotor. Instead, it has a rear pusher-propeller, and yaw control is done through adverse collective pitch.
FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS
Maximum Airspeed (TAS): 250mph, 402kph, 217knots.
Maximum Altitude: 15,000ft, 4,572m.
Controls: Activate1: Engine Activation. Activate2: Weapons Activation. Activate3: NOVA MRAC-1 Activation. Throttle: Propeller Pitch. Trim: Collective Pitch. Yaw: Rotor Yaw.
Weapons: 2x Boom 25, 4x Inferno Missiles, 2x Rocket Pods, 1x NOVA MRAC-1.
NOTES
I recommend using just under 50% trim for takeoff, and using about 25% for cruise flight.
