A simple helicopter concept using VTOL powered blades
---------------------------
Take-off procedure
1-Slide the VTOL all the way forward
2-Turn up the engine full power
3-Engage the blades attack with the Roll control
You can then control the pitch and yaw using the RCNs
-----------------------------
It's very hardly flyeable as is; critically missing the roll control but the point was to know if I could make something to take off using rotating blades
Feel free to edit if you see any improvement!

Retard may be offensive. I suggest changing the name!
I struggled for ages to attempt this and still failed. Great job.
