Actual contest question..

If its a helicopter shouldnt we have to do single columb thrust?

I know its strange to fly but its a lot of fun and actually feels like a helicopter. Heres an example i made a couple years back...

@ Pa Chu Its not really a helicopter imo then, just another fighter ;)

@Abe Do you have any instability with the block rotors spinning while you fly? If so swap em out for projected ones. They have no mass so can spin without upsetting balance. I actually swapped my heli rotors to projected ones ages ago but never updated the BP :)

EDIT- can see the updated one with projected rotors on this shot

Ahh cool thats a good solution aswell. I try to avoid scripts if i can, maybe the projected rotors helps someone else with that prob :)

An new version of an existing blueprint, modified for the contest, can be a valid contest entry.

In your case, if you retrofit your interceptor into an attack craft, it should be fine.
