The second version of my first attack gunship. This version keeps the same general control idea, but it uses the actual prop pitch of the propellers for roll control, instead of rotators.
Controls:
4: toggles between hover/forward flight modes.
3: activates jet engine for an extra boost in forward flight.
VTOL: controls propeller pitch
Throttle: controls jet engine when 3 is pressed
How to fly:
On startup, press activator 4 to activate pitch, roll, and yaw. Then use the VTOL slider to liftoff and control the prop pitch.
If you want, you can transiton to a forward flight by pushing forward on the stick to gain speed and then while the pitch is completely forward and the roll and yaw are neutral, press 4 to lock the props in their forward position. You can then use the control surfaces to control the gunship in forward flight.

@JacobSemmler I knew it! (literally!)
I have a new updated version of this that's pretty much the same thing, but with redesigned props that use fuselage parts instead of wings. It looks better and flies a heck of a lot better too. Check it out in my profile!
@KSPFSXandSP Actually yes!
@Baconlife DO IT :)
Was this inspired by the movie Avatar?
Anyone want me to post a mad max version of this?
Nice!
its cool for those that understand what there doing
@GildedPanther Thanks :)
Beautiful
@PinoyCraftG thanks :)
Great creation reminds me if a gyro-wing
This is very cool and the best thing is that u didn't use any XML modding. Great job! :)
Wow thanks everyone! :)
What I love about pretty much all gunships is they can lose some parts and keep flying like nothing happened! This one's a little handful to fly, but what's not to love?! Great gunship man, keep up the good work, you've earnt yourself a new follower :)
Thank you so much everyone for your awesome support! :)
Looks awesome!
