Double Rotor Helicopter

Detach 1 before flying. Hover, pitch, roll, and yaw just like a real helicoptor! It will start to take off around 80% throttle. Sometimes it will break, rotors may fly off, but it very rarely happens. Just restart if it does. I have yet to see a helicopter on simple planes that actually uses the pitch of the rotors to create lift, so here it is!

    Good job. Do you mind if I put a variant on here?

    Lifts off and then goes out of control moments later. I like how you tied rotor pitch to the throttle instead of vtol.

    I know how hard these are to implement, and you model at least gets airborn! (Note I recently posted a "Fixed H-3F Pelican" that uses variable lift from counter-rotating blades. To get it under control I went with RCS stabilizers since Rear propellers never worked out.)
