Forward:
Uh... it's a 84 part build. I'm probably not going to do a very good description. Yeah. Thing is, read the description carefully, as it flies like the real Rotodyne, first being a chopper, turning into a pinwheel, then turboprop plane, and back again. Complicated but realistic British design.
Description
So, here's the real thing here.
Uh... Throttle to start VTOL counter props, VTOL for the amount of turn. Only use tiny amounts. AG1 to start forward turboprops.
How to take off:
Throttle 100%. Wait until it rises into the air, and it will drop back down. Keep VTOL at default. Let the rotodyne use ground effect, so wait for it to bob for 15 seconds before using VTOL. The rotodyne is designed to operate at low heights, so not using VTOL is fine. Put up landing gear, activate AG1, and start to go forwards. When at full speed of 57mph, deactivate AG1 and put throttle down. The heli blades will autogyro, and will provide lift, while spinning like a pinwheel. For more info just search how an autogyro works. If not landing, just leave it be.
How to land:
Face the landing zone. When 2-1 miles to the zone, deactivate AG1. Then, quickly put throttle to 100%. Use pitch to keep going, and when you are about 100ft. in front of the target, put down landing gear, and then put VTOL down the smallest amount possible. When on the ground, turn off throttle.

So, my take on the Fairey Rotodyne. Except with counterprops, whatnot and uh... No tip jets. But it's easier to fly then.
There's a tiny amount of trees in this, and all of them funk. So, whatever.
Hope you like it!
Edit: Uh... Due to complaints I'll tell you that you need high physics for it to work. For some reason the rotors will twitch on low. Medium works okay I guess.

@EnternalDarkness Uh... can you make this a successor of DPSaircraft's post here?

@DPSAircraft Here's my entry...
Ok ok you can tell that it is wip
@Stratus
The takeoff is a little strange, but I like it! @officialryanyang
