This is my first ever creation without a gyroscope. It's a little hard to fly but shouldn't be feared by beginners. It takes a little while to build up speed (approximately the whole Yeager Runway), but gets easier as you pick up speed.
(1) Turns on main helicopter rotors.
(2) Turns on main thrust propellors.

    This is a really cool little thing!

    I bumped up the horsepower to 850 and now take off is only about the length of the craft, so personally I’d advise doing that, if you don’t care too much about the crafts realism. Once it’s up, it flies really nicely.

    A real fun time to fly and I’m only a beginner.
