A brand new heli by Vega Corporation!

This tiny heli has blade diameter of only around 4.9m, so it can fit everywhere!

Dont worry if youre not an experienced heli pilot though. Funky trees flying assistance modes will make sure you have a good time, even if you are inexperienced.

Aircraft has a cockpit designed with visibility in mind. The instrument board is very tidy, and contains all necessary flight data and switches, so you can switch off the default HUD instruments. Cockpit is also mostly glass, so you wont have problems with seeing obstacles around you when in 1st person mode.

Controls

"D" button (AG1) - "Damping" assistance mode
"L" button (AG2) - "Leveling" assistance mode
"D" & "L" - "Hovering" assistance mode
"COL" button (AG3) - altitude keeping assistance
"ENG" button (AG8) - the funny one

VTOL - collective, or rate of change of altitude (if COL is enabled)
Trim - forward/backwards speed in "Hovering" mode
Throttle - does literaly nothing

CRAFT USES NO GYRO!!!

Have fun :)

    @WinsWings I tested your heli, and it flies roughly the same (when i turn off gyro of course). The weight doesnt seem to be the issue, as your has even less weight per rotor than mine. Its just that simpleplanes is annoyed by small props. The sensitivity is as inconsistant as in my heli, and if i made FT systems to stabilise it, it would surely wobble too.

    @Quercon I guess you might need some weight as well. Check this out: Kammov K8 which is similar size with this

    @WinsWings Its mostly the issue with how SP handles small rotors, thats where inconsistancies, as well as over and undersensitivity and wobble come from. Next version uses scaled bigger prop, and it works much better. (Also if you use damping control mode (AG1), you have lower sensitivity by default.)

    It’s a good try. it will be even better if you can slow down the sensitivity of the controls.
