I kinda took the body of this aircraft from someone else but I modified the rotor head and controls a good bit....trim is your forwards and backwards... vtol is death... up and down pitch is useless... roll kinda spins you a bit.....thrust is well thrust... and yaw turns you... act g 1 turns on the back rotor. turning it on gives better yaw and speed

    I looked at what was happening. It looks like anytime you mirror the aircraft it messes up the settings on your props. When doing a helicopter I disconnect the top propeller and rotor to avoid having the settings altered when I use the mirror effect. I noticed your propeller settings are doing the exact same thing I encountered when I first started designing helicopter propulsion methods. Hope this info helps you out.

    @Zyvx yeah I've been messing with it but to no avail. In my current version I have all the blades on rotators set to 35° and at the tip of the blades the vtol thrusters are on inverted rotators that are set to 35° aswell. This keeps the thrusters flat and focused on spinning like I planned, but it just doesn't want to take off :/

    I like what you did with this chopper, it's a neat variation. This chopper default propeller on the original had pitch settings on vtol to raise and lower fast, you could check the settings on mine if you need too. Good job on your work in progress.

    It's still a work in progress, I'm working to give pitch and vtol proper movements. Anyways, have fun
