Mechnical Helicopter without gyro
Spiritual successor of this abomination i built 5 years ago
This only works with
LimitlessSpin
and I build and test with high physics
Controls:
Ag1 to activate the engine and Throttle to spin faster or slower
VTOL for collective, Trim for Yaw trim
the rest is wasd
V12 engine is from here
So Hand made the blade and rotor, with a drive train to drive the tail rotor (sor I cheap out on the tail rotor assembly) with a handmade V12 couple to it.
It is pretty flyable in my opinion, but due to the nature of the hand build part it's a bit wobbly.
Someone with time and will can polish up all the parts and the FT code (which is pretty basic and could use a lot more skill and work), but I'm out of time and probably wouldn't make any major improvement in the near future because busy.

@crazyplaness I can, but I think that kinda miss the point.
Look at prop and engine spinning fast is part of the fun
I believe my old helibuild do work well enough without limitless spin
@Johnnyynf You could probably make your builds work without the limitless spin mod if you made them spin slower but increased wing lift on the propeller
@SimpleStudent yeah, it's been a while since I properly built a thing, and cannot resist.
So I built this thing, and probably wouldn't build a new thing for a while
yo i thought you said you quit sp
