Easy Copter (Helicopter Challenge)
This is my entry to the challenge. The design is meant to be simple while being easy to fly. I wanted a helicopter that anyone could master on the first flight. One you could let go of the controls, and have it return to a hover. I used a less powerful engine to try and keep the top speed below 120mph, as speeds above present undesirable characteristics. The VTOL nozzles are modded so they only turn the rotors and don't provide lift or thrust. Thanks to Stingray again for the main idea. Now you can't really autorotate as well as I wanted to. But its fairly controllable as long as you have enough forward speed. It will probably capsize when hit the water but will remain intact. And I say any landing you can swim away from is a successful landing. Now to fly just throttle to 100% and VTOL up. Thank you and enjoy.
