Description
This is a simple straight forward helicopter. Inspired by a design I made a long time ago, the original "OH" was designed as a VTOL for exploring the hard to reach places in Simple Planes as an Observation Craft. This model fills the same purpose, but I wanted something flexible and easy to fly, and could be used for a variety of roles. Not because I want to show off my building prowess by making a really good helicopter, but because I am lazy and building one design that is good enough is easier than building many specialized ones. Also, it's a training helicopter designed to help me learn the basics of rotary wing aviation. The control panels are borrowed from my TH-3 SKIP, and I kept the weapons interface Incase someone wants to turn it into a gunship. I have a gunship version I'll upload at some point. After being stagnant for a year, I figured why not upload something.
