The Sikorsky S-97 Raider is a proposed high-speed scout and attack compound helicopter based on the Advancing Blade Concept (ABC), under development by Sikorsky Aircraft.

This craft just achieved its maiden flight on 5/22/15 so in honor of that I decided to build a version.

Instructions: Set Group 1 and 2 VTOL to 85% and take off. Group 3 and VTOL up to raise gear.

@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.
