Accepted for the challenge
it was in my situation. when i adjusted the pitch so it would have the curved props it slowed the rotation down. i think i put mine back to .15 or .20. i really liked that curved prop look to. maybe theres a way around it but i couldnt figure out how. either way this is still a great heli. @LegnaK
@Texasfam04 was that what was needed to fix the rotation? that was annoying me to no end, thank you.
i tested it out and i think it looks great , nice details. i had to adjust the propeller pitch closer to 0 because when i did what you did they turn too slow. nice heli though!
@doge ?
=(
@mikoyanster Thank you, the 300 part limit really pushed me to get the detailing done the way it is :D
