Background
AW101 Merlin (Wikipedia)
The AgustaWestland AW101 is a medium-lift helicopter used in both military and civil applications. First flown in 1987, it was developed by a joint venture between Westland Helicopters in the United Kingdom and Agusta in Italy in response to national requirements for a modern naval utility helicopter. Several operators, including the armed forces of Britain, Denmark, Norway and Portugal, use the name Merlin for their AW101 aircraft. It is manufactured at factories in Yeovil, England and Vergiate, Italy; licensed assembly work has also taken place in Japan and the United States.

@RocCrafter101 that does exist in real life and most helicopters in the world do tilt their rotor but for military helicopters they tilt both to gain better control range
@hellgaming Thankyou, I achieved this completely by accident somehow. Well, not exactly on accident but I just thought what would happen if I tilted the rotor instead of the entire helicopter like my other helicopters.
Its realistic and controllable and mobile friendly @MysteryTimeTraveler
No can even do a helicopter that is as controllable as this except for the helicopter made by mods recently
This is really fun to fly
@hellgaming ya, I was able to fly through the rivers in Snowstone smoothly. Except when i tried to squeeze it through a gap too small. Rip
cant believe it
this is the most mobile friendly yet controllable helicopter
One of the best replicas under 100 parts
@Pilotmario Yeah, adjusting mass, changing the rotator settings, adding very very tiny engines around so it would stay stable, adjusting drag scale. Probably more than 3 attempts but yeah.
Just 3? @RocCrafter101
@Pilotmario I made like 3 attempts to make it fold. But I'm not sure what I did wrong as it caused the aircraft to continually tilt to the side in which the radar was on till it flipped over and the gyroscope caught it. I'll upload an updated version unlisted and have a link ready later on.
I'm only wondering why the radar doesn't fold at all.
Great job!
