My first crack at a heli. Hope you like it!

#1 activates main engines and marker lights
#2 activates front nav light
Gear retracts landing skids

Keep throttle between 75%-100% for best performance.
VTOL slider between +45% to +85% for most stable lift.

She rolls to the left, unfortunately I cound't figure out how to fix this... Hope you enjoy!

    Сool design of the helicopter !! If you're interested, the helicopter rolls to the left because blades moving back create less aerodynamic lift (blade speed and air speed are subtracted) than blades moving forward (blade speed and air speed are summed). Try to use the horizontal hinde

    Excellent helicopter!!! The unwanted roll to the left is caused by the retreating blades moving slower then the aircraft producing less lift, as proof of this I offer that if you fly backwards the roll effect will be reversed.
