H-55 Moth

2,613 Tythatguy1312  5.3 years ago

My first successful attempt at a helicopter, the H-55 Moth carries 2 475in 1200hp engines. It's shamelessly inspired by Third Reich era helicopters and as a result works fairly well. Unfortunately I can barely fly this thing so if you don't know how to fly a helicopter, stay away. 1 for the propeller if you want to use this as an autogyro.

    @Badplanesdotnet ok so dont do that but a gyro with yaw power might still be a food idea

    @Armyguy1534 after testing I found twin rotors are not only good but putting a tail rotor on this thing is a recipe for disaster.

    @Armyguy1534 well it functions. I mean German helicopters of the same style worked well. I'll probably follow your advice though.
