much improved version of my earlier helicopter. handles much better, better balance, less lag time before you get power (thanks for the tip @AgDynamics). tail rotor behaves much better as well.
gentle takeoff happens around 50% power. you will descend *rapidly* with much less than 40%. suggestions and comments welcome!
