Basic Helicopter - Practice Physics!

15 RaceFlight179  5.4 years ago

A basic helicopter designed to practice helicopter physics here in SimplePlanes.

Comes in military style (equipped with weapons!)

Controls:

Throttle - set the main rotor (side/rear rotors move by themselves)
VTOL - To lift or pull the helicopter down (DON'T push them to extreme highs/lows, it will turn the helicopter around and crazy. Just experiment on this. To go down slowly, set VTOL to neutral. Down VTOL will generate certain push; it's not a swift landing).
Yaw - Turn east/west direction.
Pitch - Turn north/south direction.
Roll - Sideways direction

Hope you learn and have fun!
