Attack Helicopter meant to swarm!

Author's Note: I absolutely love this helicopter! It was extremely fun and rewarding to build. Looks like im finnally getting the hang of conventional helicopter layouts. Also, this helicopter has a cockpit.

Introduction: The CAS-AH 26B "Naja" is an american lightweight 1 seater attack helicopter with great stability, control and decent destructive capacities. It carries 1 50mm Cannon mounted below the nose (100mm in practice for consistency betwen part sizes, but with explosionScalar and impactDamage halved), 2 .50BMG Machineguns, 2 LASMs, 2 LRAAMs (for anti-helicopter usage), 2 Rocket Pods and 64x usable countermeasures.

Development: The Close Air Support-Attack Helicopter 26Bravo "Naja" or CAS-AH 26B Naja started development in 2002 as a replacement to the AH-1Z Viper. Its objective to be cheap, reliable and easy to produce en mass. In 2006, the first operational prototype flew to the public and military staff. In 2008, the A version enterred service, phasing out the AH-1Zs, but was later replaced with the B variant, which improved stability, engine power and added Data Link.

(Note: All pictures taken before the addition of the Cannon)

Controls: Throttle to speed the proppellers.
VTOL for Collective.
Roll, Yaw and Pitch for movementation.
AG1 for lights.
AG2 to launch LASMs.
AG3 to launch LRAAMs.
AG4 to drop Rocket Pods after usage.
AG8 to toggle Gyroscope.

Tips:
The Gyroscope controlled by AG8 is there for more arcade like controls, but is completely optional, as the helicopter is just as flyable without it. I personnally use disable when doing stunts, such ass rolls and loops, and activating it right after its a completed stunt or when there's a chance it might crash.
