High-Speed Vanilla Gyrodyne/Compound Heli Racer - Antero SHCN

"This is by far and away the best ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing I've flown in this game"
- AvarethTaika, contest girl

• Turn with deadly G-Forces!
  
• Experience stability, in any direction you choose
  
• Break racing records at 100% gamespeed!
  
• Land easily with this robust frame!

In multiplayer, you might need to press J first. You'll automatically pitch up on startup to ensure you'll have some height to play with! Top speed is above 242 m/s, 872 km/h, 542 mph. Can easily be tuned to above 1300 km/h, (Mach 1+) as seen in the video.

• TFGH – Pitch and Roll
  
• RY – Yaw
  
• X/Z - Thrust forward/backwards
  
• J - Toggle lift rotors
  
• 6/Q/Left Mouse - Racing Camera

Yaw is most useful at low speeds, since like most aircraft, you'd only use yaw to get a slightly different angle at high speeds and/or maintain altitude in turns. Landing should be easy if you turn off all your engines (release X, toggle J) and don't plummet straight to the ground. I'd recommend landing on your nose, that way it'll be hard to damage the props, which are essentially the only part that could break on landing.

Built for racing at 100% speed (in vanilla), so ease of use, stability, maneuverability and acceleration were the prime goals. I'm very happy with the result, and got #1 in all racetracks of the Besiege Bots Discord, plus decent times on workshop maps where most people race at lower timescales.

Thanks to the test pilots: AvarethTaika, Six and vladoMNE. Do check out their workshop creations!
