This is an improved version of Tuna200 with a Fenestron (a fantail or a "fan-in-fin" arrangement) tail rotor. I am creating a series of menuverable helicopters, and perfecting the previous builts.


Also, visit this

You Tube video link for "how to takeoff and land helicopters"

which will help you understand the controls if you are new. Yes, helicopters are sucks most of the time, and I have learned it (and still learning)

instruction:

1) throttle to 100%
2) bring the VTOL (left sidebar) up to max for vertical flight
3) nose down, so that you will gain speed moving front.
this heli has a top speed of about 175 mph which is quite fast for a heli.

Landing

bring down the VTOL (left sidebar) slowly to the middle, heli will lose the altitude soon, do not reduce the throttle (engine) until it touches the ground. Nose up while landing, which will reduce the forward speed.
