The Kawasaki OH-1 is observation helicopter for the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, and it's nickname is "Ninja".
Thanks to gyro effect, this helicopter is quite stable, but also highly maneuverable. It has cutting-edge swashplate, which is thinner and more stable than my older ones. It was very difficult to contain every function into realistic size!
Feel free to make other helicopters using this swashplate!
[Controls]
Throttle 100% and VTOL +0.5 to takeoff. You can roll, pitch, and yaw in the air. You can perform so many tricks such as barrel-roll, somersault, and even inverted flight! You should also try to explore usually unreachable places like inside the crate and ship port!
I think it may explode on mobile devices with physics setting Low.

@Dipper ok
@WNP78 It's ok, but this helicopter is using some kind of bug of physics engine. so this may not fly if scaled down.
@Dipper this comment concerns your aircraft, do you give consent to this?
Nice!!!!

The swash plate is amazing. Nice work.
@Dipper, I'm planning on making a variation of your AMAZING helicopter. I was wondering if I could upload it, but still give you credit (it might not say that this was the predecessor). I didn't change much, but what I did add (I think) is pretty cool.
Awesome helicopter and it really explodes with low physics on mobile!
Remarkable, I really want to borrow your swash plate and put it on my own helicopters, it's works superbly, and great for fly upside down.
Good heli, but still a little hard to control ;)
I'm not normally a fan of custom swashplate helis, as they seem to usually feel a bit clunky and weird to me, but this surprised me. Very stable and controllable. Great work
Swashplate design is impeccable. far more reliable than mine. I have much to learn.
Really amazing
Most. Excellent.
This is best helicopter that I tryed in this game. Amazing work!
Hands down my favorite helicopter at the moment. This is a true joy to fly. And it looks beautiful on top of the accurate flight characteristics. Top notch job on this! Looking forward to more helis from you.
hey how do u make those wings?
Very nice! glad to see another person who likes to build Japanese aircraft. Not that many of us out their that build modern Japanese planes. Keep it up!
plenty of fun with this helo. This great work is worth of much more upvotes.
Is gr8 :D
