This was a relatively quick build. I started it while I was building the A-20. Hence why I'm uploading this so quickly after the A-20. I haven't built a helicopter for over 1.3 years. So I know very little about the best ways to make one fly. I did my best but it's definitely a bit tricky. But I hope you guys appreciate the effort!
Thanks to BogdanX for tips on the helicopter!

在刚刚过去的五月二日,中国西安白鹿原景区有一架罗宾逊R44乌鸦II坠毁了,机上三人死亡(全部)。
Oh you've flown a real r44? And thanks for the feedback, very interesting.@Thorne
I’ve done a good amount of time on the R44, just thought I’d mention I think the yaw is fine, in fact I think it’s stronger than in the real thing, but it doesn’t matter either way since realistic helicopter flight controls are pretty much impossible to nail lol, great details! @Hedero (thought I’d give my own opinion like the comment below because that yawing problem sounds like a glitch because I didn’t get it)
Oh I see what you mean. Yeah this was my first time building a heli in ages so I don't know the best methods to making one fly good or anything. Sorry for the unrealistic flight characteristics.@Numbers
I'm a bit confused sorry.@Numbers
@Hedero
Np.
Thank you@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
That's okay. I just thought you were a good cantidate.
Oh I really appreciate you for wanting to do that but there is nothing about being a mod that I would want. I personally enjoy being a regular member and I don't want to have to watchdog everyone. So I think I'm good.@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
Would you be okay with me setting up a petition to make you a Moderator? You're a great person, you follow the rules, and have lots of experience on the site. You kinda tick all the boxes. But that's only if you WANT to become a Mod.
Thanks@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
Sorry. I hope you feel better.
Oh no. It'll get done whenever it get's done. Right now I'm dealing with a cold so I don't fancy building too much right now.@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
Will you post it today?
Yeah, it's also pretty hard to make lol.@KnightOfRen
AWWW what a cute plane!@Hedero
I'm trying to get an XP-56 done. I just got the landing gear to work properly.@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
What is your next build?
Well you could make an unlisted upload and tag me on it.@WolfSpark
@Hedero thanks, I did a re-creation of them instead of using them. I used the rotators and stuff with FT on them tho, i mean I would show you but they don’t have private Forums posts xd
O @Hedero
Go ahead dude! I didn't respond cause I was campin'.@WolfSpark
