Dual Rotor Gyrocopter

Description
HOLY CRAP THIS WORKS!!! I have not seen any other creation that works with only 2 rotors, if so, please send me a link!

1 - Engine

This is the most stable version I've made so far. I've put a lot into this little thing, and I'm not letting go now. It is a work in progress, so I still have to find a place to put the gyro piece. If you would like, please work on this and see if you can make it any more stable.

@Bane882266 Go ahead, I had another one that has the folding tail for stabilization, not sure if I uploaded it or even still have it anymore. I quit playing a long time ago and went to another PC.

Just added a folding tail and a docking hatch perfect for the aerial command centre now. Do you mind if I re-upload this in future when I finally upload the aerial command centre.

Thanks, Tajin, very cool!

I think you're misunderstanding what a "Gyrocopter" actually is.

Anyway, I have this thing here:

Works in a similar way – the rear rotor is just for pitch-stability (and authenticity) but that can also be achieved with a rudder, a low center of mass or any other form of stabilization.

I have no idea why, but after playing with it for a few minutes, the game decides this creation is not a good idea. I've tried adding weights to the ends of the rotors for more stability, but to no avail... :steamsad::m9beretta:

It fixed after a simple reboot of the game. Hope this helps.

I have no clue why, but after continuous testing without changing anything, the right rotor keeps going up at a 90 degree angle. If anyone else has this issue, please let me know.
