Description
From the cheesy 90s TV show! (See excerpt video above.) Uses the new, small retractable HE Landing Gear. It's packed with BF Adjustment Thrusters for pitch control and extra lift. I recommend replacing the one in tail for 2 GSO Horns, instead (shown in demo video, above) - stronger pitch control (but rubbish looks). You could also add a small 5-way adjustment thruster on top of the rotor blades, as with all helicopters.

Four HE Small Jet Engines let it just about loop the loop (with a run-up and some spare altitude). This is enabled by use of a BF Single Axis Gyro to stabilise it only in the roll axis. This is also why it will topple backwards fairly easily. Weapons are mostly for show.

Warning - modifying the weight distribution can very easily give it the stall glitch when pitching (as with most proper helicopters, currently).

It should work fine with the default "Helicopter" control scheme (and default key bindings), but I made some tweaks to have the main steering controls all around WASD, on the one hand, freeing the other for mouse camera control.

Built for the developer's community core stream themed on replacing the Hawkeye starter helicopter tech in creative mode. Submitted here on the main forum: https://forum.terratechgame.com/index.php?threads/mini-heli-community-core-submit.19807/post-139165

Looks beautiful. It is a pity that the helicopter control in the game is poorly implemented.:vega:

Alternative version with better forwards/backwards stability posted here in my forum "B-roll techs" thread: https://forum.terratechgame.com/index.php?threads/zeros-b-roll-techs.19970/post-139959
