[BROKEN] Galileo Heavy Quadcopter MkI - Multi-role heavy 4 rotors helicopter

/!\ CANNOT LIFT ITSELF SINCE LAST UPDATE - I'M CURRENTLY WORK ON A SIMILAR CONCEPT /!\

The Galileo is my first attempt to do a heavy lift multi-role helicopter.

It includes several functionalities :
- 2 sides dual water jets.
- 1 main winch mounted control harness that control one other harness and a stretcher. The harness side of he helicopter comes with a foldable plateform that you can set out in order to get back to the helicopter without falling from it.
- A huge 9.25 x 3.75 x 2.25 cargo bay mounted on elevator, that comes with sides doors, a underneath hatch and a roof hatch.
- A central winch and hose that can go through the central underneath hatch, that comes with cockpit control and information about their own altitude so you can lower it without even go in third person.
- 3 searchlights, that can be controled from the cockpit.
- 6 passenger seats, 2 medical beds, 1 co-pilot seat and 1 pilot seat.
- Retracting landing gear with wheels and break control.
- The hose gets its own pump, that permit refueling and filling the water tanks even during flight.
- 4 rotors with their own engine, plus 1 independant generator engine/clutch.
- A built-in roll stabilizer (that you can disconnect if needed), and a altitude stabilizer setting functionnality. Coupled with the hover it permits the pilot to leave its seat and do whatever he needs to in the rest of the helicopter.
- Should have a back thruster for forward propulsion, but i didn't manage to get it work properly, so it's coupled with the generator engine, but not connected.
- Helicopter controls, obviously, with a cruise speed of around 30 m/s.
- All doors can be locked and sealed, and there is a central door control in the cockpit.
- It floats, even with engines off. Watch out tho, use the roof hatch to get out if needed, otherwise the water will get in wh'en you'll open a door.
- Advanced mode, with a pretty good fuel autonomy, water tanks needs to be filled with the hose if needed, engines seems to do well even at full throttle idling, even though 0.70 throtle is more than necessary most of the time. And it should be able to do most of the mission that needs lifting, rescuing people, deliver thing or estinguish a fire.
Watch out, helipads can be a bit small for the Galileo.
- Paint is not done yet /!\

I hope you'll like it, don't hesitate to leave your suggestions and feedback, i'll update when the times comes.
Have a good day, and enjoy your flight.

ps : Btw if you want to put in the workshop anything based on my creation, be sure to contact me first and ask for permission. Thanks by advance.
