The Easiest-to-Fly Helicopter in All Simpleplanes

This is the finished version of my Huey Gunship, featuring full cyclic, collective, and torque rotor control, just like a real heli! I spent an entire bloody night perfecting the swashplate, and hopefully it shows off!

Having such collective and cyclic controls, this will be significantly easier to control than the standard helicopter you'd see out there. Hovering is simple and easy, and can be achieved around 60-65% thrust, pitch and roll controls are sensitive but not over-sensitive, and you can do rolls and loops, if you have enough altitude.

It also has a mouse-aimed gimbal turret - press 8 to lock flight controls, then press 7 to enable the turret. It will follow the movements of your mouse or joystick, allowing it to be precisely aimed. Then press 8 - 7 again to go back to flying!
