Tip Jet Prototype

1,104 Mitaku  1.9 years ago

So basically I was bored and decided to create the hybrid abomination. Its kind of a Bell 47 "upgraded" with superior french uncanny valley technology (the tip jets from a Djinn).
AG1 starts the engine and spools up the rotor. Until the rotor has finished accelerating to idle you won't have control on the gyro or the throttle (used to accelerate the blade to control lift).
It's a bit shakey and you really have to use the yaw but with some time its fine.
