3,202 SirGorbachevI'm maybe not in a position to judge here, but from my own experiences of making helicopters in this game, the best way to do it is to mount the VTOL nozzles on the tips of each rotor. Also make sure each rotor is attached to a rotator (controlled by throttle) with a maximum angle of about 15 degrees. The angle of the VTOL nozzle should not be adjusted during operation (activate it with group 6 or something to keep it out of the way). FINALLY...tweak the overall airframe to make sure the centre of balance is perfectly aligned with where the rotor assembly meets the airframe, and add lots and lots of RCS all over the place. Hope it helped! :D9.4 years ago
