One-Man Hydro Helicopter

15 RaceFlight179  5.4 years ago

This is a "more detailed" version of my previous helicopter, albeit simplified (into a one-man helicopter... however you imagine it!)

Controls are simple:

VTOL - Collective up/down (to lift you or lower you)
Pitch - Forward/backward
Roll - Move sideways
Yaw - Rotate

For the lights (if you like them):

AC 1 - Green light (just a way of saying your chopper is good!)
AC 2 - If you're in trouble. Warning lights
AC 3 - Blinker nights (at night)
AC 4 - Headlights

Just remove the lights if you don't like them.

The helicopter uses actual helicopter blades (vs. propellers or designed-from-scratch rotors). So if you're learning about them, you can use this chopper as a guide.

Experiment with it, and just enjoy and have fun!

And yes, this lands on water, too!
