Heres a single seat helicopter. It's kinda tricky to fly so here's some tips. Takeoff around 40% throttle, don't exceed 80% throttle unless it's an emergency. The engines kick on and don't shut off because I have the throttle governed. Any veteran helo builders have a tip to avoid that? Throttle controls prop pitch, vtol doesn't do anything. Once in the air sitting around 50-60% will give you a mostly gentle ride. Have fun trying to land!
