this is my first helicopter, it's ok at controls but it's still pretty bad, it looks alright but it could improve. It doesn't have rear propeller because it would mess the stability up, took 3 hours to make.

Oh. Its nothing. @ItzGray
@ItzGray no problem
@EternalDarkness @RedstoneAeroAviation thank you!
This looks cool.
It's amazing for a first upload. Of course, as you said, it could be a lot better. Here's some tips I have:
-Helicopter rotors experience something called "dissymmetry of lift". It's difficult to counter, so I advise using either an ordinary prop engine as a main rotor, or making it out of fuselage blocks and using a jet engine for lift.
-Use Overload mod for easy xml editing. It lets you edit parameters of parts beyond their usual limits, as well as edit their mass, disable collisions, and edit their scale.
-Use Fine Tuner mod. It lets you move and rotate parts far more accurately, and scale them.
