    @maverickvii i will post the ship soon, then you can see, and you can change the back of it to suit your needs better, and you can model it off of another real helicopter, or build with your imagination if you want

    Cool, I have a project that needs a small heli in a hanger, and I was wondering if you could build one, I will post the hangar in a few days, and if you could build a heli for the inside that would be great

    Thank you all for the ratings. As said, definitely not the first helicopter, I alone have several others, But the forward thrust and double blades to make this quite stable.

    Actually flies pretty good, but has a strange bug where the right rear stabilizator is actually like distach of the helicopter, but continue to answer to command. Anyway, it's a great helico.
