This is most definitely the best looking aircraft I've made in Simple Planes. Surprisingly, it flies pretty well too. Rotor blade pitch is automatic, so don't worry about that. The controls will feel a little squirrely at first, but you quickly get used to it and for the most part, it'll do what you tell it to. The only thing to really look out for is that it gets harder to pitch down at higher speeds. There isn't really a way around this, but luckily it doesn't cause you to crash as long as you aren't trying to do flips or something like that. The gun is controllable. Activation group 1 for left/right and 2 for up/down. One more thing. Even though this doesn't use any beta parts, I did build it in the 1.5 beta version of the game. As a result, I don't think you can download it unless you have the beta version. However, as soon as update 1.5 goes live, it should be open for everyone to enjoy.
