This is the CH-47 Chinook that I have made for the Troop Carrier Challenge. Controls:
VTOL: open/close rear door
Trim: forward thrust
Throttle up/down to go up/down

The CH-47 Chinook is a tandem rotor helicopter that was designed from 1957 to 1961 by Vertol for the United States. The Chinook first saw action in the Vietnam Conflict, and is still in service today. The max speed for the aircraft is ~200 mph and controls quite well.
