Hey everyone! Thanks for the help! Here's the fix. Autopilot still messes it up though but with a bit of effort I can at least fly it: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/U4dh7t/Chief-Chopper

OK giving it a fixed pitch of +10 really helps, not perfect though

@TheFlyingCompany I've tried (using two engines on top, it looks like I micro Chinook) but now it goes into a flat spin.

I believe so but if you practice it will get easier I will upload a little later a helicopter that should be easy to fly I'm almost done I just got to get the paint right lol

@mbmadnes32 lol it seems part of the problem is my lack of flying skills, I can't fly either of your helicopters. But then neither can the autopilot... Is this a general problem with choppers?

You just have too adjust it and put down some more fusologes if needed @ChiefMcGill

line up the centre of mass with centre of thrust and lift

@ChiefMcGill yup

@GrimMantis there's a 150lbs in the front nose cone, if I put 100lbs it back flips and if I put 200lbs it just drives more sharply.

Try moving the center of mass by putting deadweight in some of the fusolages@ChiefMcGill

Look at my helicopters and see what I did

@GrimMantis it tips forward and moves forward without the rear prop, then it just drives into the ground

@ChiefMcGill try putting the back proppeler on group 1 so you can activate it when you want to move fowards

@planes223 that bad?

i tried

@GrimMantis I don't think takeoff is the problem, I want it to have vertical takeoff and landing anyway, like a real chopper.

@ChiefMcGill try putting wheels on it for better land take off

@AceOfSpade thanks

Will help out.

@GrimMantis thanks man! I've tried everything and this seems to be the best I can do, I feel like I'm missing something major

I am not sure how to fix this but I will upvote for support @ChiefMcGill

@planes223 yeah thanks!

ill help
