The most aerodynamically and mechanically advanced single main rotor helicopter
He features a functioning swashplate!
Check out the helicopter competition here
Diffuclt to fly, Read the Manual:
Use Nav Sphere
Slider 1 up for main and rear rotor engines
Slider 2 for retreating blade stall compensator (roll trim)
Throttle for blade pitch
AG 7: gyros
AG 8: Landing gears
To fly:
- Stage once to activate the rotors.
- Lock heading
- Slider 1 to ~25%
- Throttle full
- Use slider 1 and throttle to keep main rotor RPM between 100 and 200
- Use
QandEto adjust roll
Forward flight:
- Raise slider 1 to ~30%
- Pitch down 3 degrees
- Increase slider 2 as forward speed increases
- Adjust pitch to keep vertical speed low
- Gradually increase slider 1 to 60%, carefully adjust slider 2, roll, and pitch on the way, Keep main rotor RPM between 100 and 200
Braking and landing:
- Return pitch to pitch up 3 degrees
- Slider 1 down to 25%
- Lower throttle, Keep main rotor RPM between 100 and 200
- Carefully adjust slider 2, roll, and pitch
Specifications:
MTOW: 30 metric tons

When taking off, rolls right or left, slowly, but I can’t fix it, and I end up going back down. How do I fix this?@Kell

@wwwNews222com if you tried to land a helicopter designed for Droo on Cylero, it's no wonder that it will be unstable, I could have told you before trying. It was designed for Droo's atmosphere and gravity, and helicopters' CoM envelope are incredibly small and would not easily function on Mars or anywhere other than on Earth (or Droo in this case).
If you fell out of your chair, then perhaps may I suggest you have some seatbelts or straps installed.

Also, check your physics level, that can make a difference if a craft works or not.@wwwNews222com

@wwwNews222com This is the second helicopter you have reviewed in which you claim you cannot "takeoff". I followed Kell's manual on this page, and although to be fair this craft is more difficult to control, it didn't take me that long to get the hang of it, so perhaps the problem of consistently failing to "takeoff" might be on your end.
I believe we should all be free to critique everyone's creations, but please try to keep it civil, the things you said are uncalled for and are not considered constructive criticism.

Lol I hope you enjoyed it. It was a pain to make it flyable @TurboSnail
This is amazing, I think @News222Com is just being an idiot, I’m not the best at flying it but It worked well, the detail is, amazing though!
