Tuna 400-B

Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's Tuna 400

Tuna 400-B is a commercial version of a Tuna-200 utility helicopter, developed by Win's Wing Aviation company in America. This helicopter uses a ducted fan as a tail rotor which bring more efficiency and also improve safety with civilian customers commuting in the city.

instruction:

1) throttle to 100%
2) bring the VTOL (left sidebar) up to max for vertical flight
3) nose down, so that you will gain speed moving front.
it has a top speed of about 175 mph which is pretty fast for a helicopter.

Landing

bring down the VTOL (left sidebar) slowly towards the middle (Watch out don't bring to down too fast), heli will lose the altitude soon, do not reduce the throttle (engine) until it touches the ground. Nose up while landing, which will reduce the forward speed.

If you are new to helicopters,

this is my old video LINK on How to control a helicopter:

    @Thorne thanks. This is a freehand build- but much influence from Bell 214 / UH1 series
