    But then again again, if the rotor system is semi-rigid this could prevent mast bumping in a low-g pushover @ND40X

    But then again, this helicopter doesn’t use it to keep the tail down @ND40X

    I wouldn’t dump it, it would allow you to make a slower and safer approach in the event of a tail rotor failure, and the long ranger needs an elevator to keep it’s tail down in flight, something the rotor is unable to do for the design. @ND40X

    Yeah, a helicopter can have a rudder. But as on the Kamov Ka-25, it only has rudders because it has a co-axel rotor system (two rotors). And as I said, helicopters don't really need elevators because the main rotor is able to change the attitude

    Some helicopters have rudders like the Kamov Ka-25 and some helicopters have elevators like the bell long ranger, the only thing I’d really criticize about the flight controls is that the throttle and collective action shouldn’t be mixed, it works ok as a makeshift correlator but it makes it a little harder to fly with with tourque changes @ND40X

    I think you have done a decent job on this, but I think you need to take a look at the flight characteristics. For one thing, helicopters don't have a rudder, they use the tail rotor to spin. And you probably need to make the tail rotor more powerful or larger.

    But anyway, this does look good, so well done :3

    Awesome design, the beams on the back must’ve taken some time to do. It flies well too, you forgot the guns!!!!
