Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's 25 PARTS CHALLENGE 9.30.22 [CLOSED]
A helicopter, but not.
A rotorcraft uses the thrust from (usually a propeller) to move forward, which causes wind to push against the main rotor, spinning it up and generating lift.
It does not work fantastically well, as simply fixing the blades in place still allows decent flight trajectories. But it offers plenty of coolness regardless.
Shouldn't have made it for the 25 parts challenge. The propeller assembly take up 10 parts alone, but oh well it is what it is.
decent (?) slow flyer, very dangerous stalls (although not the easiest to stall) and slight wobbles around.
Group 8 for gyro. Not required for flight.
