New version has been released! https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/SyEH5s/Magnetic-Clutch-Helicopter-v2-0
Been workin on this since the newest update came out, I needed to know exactly what useful thing I could do with the new magnets. I still don't know what useful thing I can do with them, but i did find you can use them as sort of a clutch, which is super useless because obviously the jet engine doesn't need a clutch. This design isn't perfect and I'm still working on it.
Things I have found and I think are important to know:
Max vertical speed is somewhere around 80 mph.
Accelerate too hard and the clutch will slip (clutches purpose of slipping under high load and low speed).
Group 8 turns off/on blade brake, group 1 engages 2 part clutch.
Spins too the left can't figure out why.
Let me know of any improvements I should make or if you just think this design is straight up stupid, Ill take any feedback.

I know. It’s still very cool. It flies pretty well.@cars001
@AerialFighterSnakes haha, I originally was making a centrifugal clutch before the update with the magnets and helicopter blades, its unfortunate that they came out together haha. Plus this is homemade so thats something :P
You dare make a helicopter WITHOUT THE NEW ROTOR PART?!?!?! Lol jk. Still very creative invention though.
i like the idea of magnet clutch, i have to test it
I really like it. It is the best helicopter I have used
Oh we’ve lost a good few adventurers there
@MegaFox my brain is a confusing place :)
