Auto Credit Based on RadarJamJar's Eurocopter Tiger
I love this helicopter but i still dont like its handling(the original is propably the best helicopter so far) so i just tried to install a stabilisation system but it doesnt work. I know that some rc helicopters have such a stabilisation system wich makes them more controllable. the system somehow on this helicopter makes it crash. i would be happy if somebody could help me to improve the fly performance on this helicopter

Maybe making the blades rotate much faster, more to the likes of a realistic helicopter would help? I have found the standard prop engine is quite reliable but it would probably come as a loss of character to your aircraft...
@AnonyMoose
imade a version with coaxial rotors. it handles even better than the original but unly at low speeds and it flies very stable
Install a second rotor :)
@emptybox I know. In real life, it's called "tipjet". Yes, it doesn't generate torque that needs the tail rotor to correct it. All of my (unreleased) helicopters use that system
@EternalDarkness
ah thanks now i understand sorry i thought you mean somethig else
@emptybox @EternalDarkness
sorry the small propellor doesnt do anything and i think there schould also be no momentum from the rotor because its powered by vtols on the end of each blade
@emptybox yes, gyroscope would be nice, but it can be made only with external mods (GyroCockpits mod, too old to be in the mod section). Dissimetry of lift is a phenomenon observed on helicopters of traditional configuration. When a helicopter is moving forward, you have a retreating blade (going back) and advancing blade (going forward). Advancing blade has a higher relative speed to the airflow, and thus generates more lift. Let's say that your rotor is rotating counterclockwise. That will make right side of the helicopter have more lift than the left side when going forward, causing the helicopter to bank to the left.
@EternalDarkness
i think i know what you mean. My problem is somewhere else the thing i wanted to build is called gyroscope( i hope i spelled it right). the dissimetry just appears becaus i added mass to the rotor. so the small propellor in the back isnt strong enough to work angainst the momentum the rotor creates
What troubles you is probably dissimetry of lift, a problem usually solved by allowing blade flapping on real helicopters. The only reliable way of solving this on SP is mounting coaxial, counter rotating rotors. That equalises the dissimetry of lift on both sides. Since explaining what dissimetry of lift is would take a lot of time, I suggest you Google it.
@saturn28
thanks :D but i think the original is still better
@saturn28
The original?
