Auto Credit Based on Pauciloquent's Almost Helicopter Mk 3
The A-H Mk 5 is an refind version of the A-H Mk 4, it has improved balance loaded and unloaded which also makes it lighter, it has an improved fuselage giving it an slicker look and also redused drag.
CONTROLS:
Normal controls for pitch, roll and yaw.
Throttle controls lift.
NOTES:
lift off occurs at above 45% throttle.
For normal flight sett throttle at 50-75% and reserve 100% for emergency climb/flare.
To force the nose down in flight briefly drop the throttle below 45%.
When using roll and pitch you will feel an slight opposite action as the engine moves DO NOT OVERCOMPENSATE.

@EnderWiggin thank you I'm glad you like it, It still needs some work... blade pitch is very on/off on big props not sure how to fix that but i'll try... A counter rotation to balance out the engine moving is needed... and I need to work on the aerodynamics to get the drag loads more even front to back so it doesn't move around as much in flight... BUT thats for later, sometimes it's best to step away for a while and come back later with a fresh mind... I still love to fly it from time to time...
Again thank you : )
Great design and, I'll be damned, it flies just like a stunt copter. A little on the difficult to control side... just like a copter.
