I just built stuff like these a few years ago, even before I uploaded stuff on this page. Back when I was Grade 6, I couldn't get to fly or build a helicopter, since it would fly like junk or the rotor breaks for no reason (usually it's the tail rotors).
Thanks to VTOL and the option of having rotators spin freely, I decided to build so many versions of this thing, some that floats, and some that shoots missiles.

How to operate

Take off like a VTOL plane and land like a normal plane, or land with VTOL if you really dare. Avoid messing with the pitch because it may cause the low budget helicopter to bob up and down. To turn, use roll and/or yaw.
