Notes

This vehicle behaves like helicopter and plane
Yaw authority is low, this can be tricky at high horizontal speeds

Start-up procedure

Power up

1. Set Main Electrical Switch (MES) to ON
2. Make sure voltage on the battery is above 24 volts
• if battery low, use external charging inlet to restore charge
3. Set Reactor switch to ON
4. Once Reactor at full power set Engine bus to ON
5. Turn ON MFD
5. Toggle Strobe lights to ON
6. Deploy blades hotkey 2
7. Press Engine Start button

Take off easy mode

1. Turn ON GYRO
2. Turn ON Auto Flight System (AFS)
3. Dial in desirable altitude
4. Set AFS to ALT hold (ALT H)
5. Retract landing gear hotkey 3


Take off normal mode

1. Turn ON GYRO
2. Use Up/Down axis to control altitude
3. Retract landing gear hotkey 3

You can use W/S and A/D axis to move horizontally, however you will loose altitude.You can compensate low pitch or roll inputs with Up/Down axis, this feature disabled if you're using ALT H. Alternatively, you can use Thrust spoiler to increase directional speed.

When hovering, you can climb with maximum rate of 1 meter per second, so in order to climb faster you need to climb like a plane. Gain speed, pitch up.

@Higi, I figured out that it only does this when you retract the landing gear for some reason lmao. So sad too, because it's the best 'thopter I've come across on Stormworks lol. Wish it could not be so, but, I at least got it to hover and move with the thrust spoiler at low speeds! :D

Nope, I've no idea. Probably got broken after space DLC

Yo, for some reason the craft rolls uncontrollably to the left once I get in the air lol
Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong @Higi? I followed easy takeoff

@Virtuoso you're not meant to touch it anyway iirc. It's doing it's thing controlling the engine

Virtuoso 26 Mar @ 4:04pm 
throttle is automatically going up and down, unable to control it, any clue?
