A simple attack helicopter that I developed using perpetual rotators, the Dragon Fly genuinely creates lift with her rotor, this gives her realistic handling and speed as well as the ability to carry a disproportionately massive load, the blades' collective pitch are controlled with throttle and she has gyros to emulate the cyclic pitch rather well as she has no swash plate. The whole rotor assembly is completely weightless, that way it won't brake apart.

Her hover is near perfect at 19-20% throttle, allowing her to be a perfect aerial liaison and weapons platform, she carries a pair of modified "Big Dutch" missile pods each carrying four Cleavers and a pair of rocket pods, she also sports a rotary cannon that leaves any target dead in seconds.

Activation Group Five toggles the rotators that power her, nudge the trim bar up at any setting to initiate rotation, then simply use throttle to ascend and descend, maximum rotor efficiency is reached at 90%. Place throttle at 60% for forward flight.

Pitch up to move forward, down for backward and roll to bank in your desired direction. To flare, simply place throttle at 0% then pitch back. Activation Group One toggles yaw with roll, this makes her turn tighter and easier to fly. If you need to make a quicker turn during forward flight, simply pitch up a little as you bank.

Enjoy.
