Piasecki H-21 Workhorse / Shawnee, referred to as "Flying Banana"
Thanks to Dipper for the idea of rotor-suspension-linkage.
Removing sling load will improve handling greatly, of course I recomm removing it if you are gt fly freely.
Act1 activates the left door gun (POV for Camera 2).
Act2 activates the right one (POV for Camera 3).
Act8 deactivates 'Pitch' and ’Roll' operation of main rotors, would be useful while door guns are operated.
Act3 jettisons the slinged load.
Piasecki H-21 served as 'workhorses' in Algerian War and Vietnam War.
they are the first american slicks to be matched with defensive door-guns, which are useful in military actions on dangerous front lines.

@SilentRecom you must see Dipper's UH-60J (https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/9l366u/JMSDF-UH-60J).
He has a state-of-art rotor system. this one has more simple but more neat system than mine and is easy to undetstand how it works.
In addition, I recommend you to learn gyroscopic precession within rotation of rotors, and unbalance of lifting force due to bias of adverse wind.
btw, I gonna make ACH-47A then ; )
Great Build, how did you build your rotor system? Also can you make a gunship?
Good job on this fantastic replica!
@Toscio56 Well,yeah, it's a problem that we all we have to deal with.
Outstanding!
@MEGANOOB yeah, the motion of sling load is more stable in real life. the physics engine does not consider stabilization of sling due to down-wash air flow.
It's too difficult. It always brakes.Yep,it's something new but I don't like it, sry....
Mind as well add a tank :P
GREAT HANDLING :D
