[MOC] Helix - Simple Helicopter

[syclone]

Good day!

I have seen many helicopter MOCs that inclined the main rotor to go in that direction. But real helicopters don't work like that. The cyclic control changes the pitch of the propeller blades unevenly what inclines the helicopter in the desired direction

Here is a good page that explains in detail the controls of a helicopter

The LDD is at 0%

Functions:

• cyclic control - inclines and flies the helicopter in the desired direction
  
• anti-torque pedals - the "steering"
  
• collective control - the altitude control
  

Enought speaking here are the pics, expect the video soon

I wanted to make all the mechanisms visible , so no bodywork

Super helicopter turned out! All controls in the helicopter, it's cool! The style recalls 8880

Nice looking helicopter.

Finished the LDD

You have to change the bright purple 5l thin liftarm for 2711 and the bright purple u-joint for an older 4l one

I am really sorry for repititive posts , but it is up on Rebrickable .

Here is the promised MOD: Military version. Sorry for crappy quality, but I am really bored and just want to dismantle this and make the review for the RA.

it's probably just me, but are the embedded videos working for anyone?

Me neither. All I get is just a black rectangle at the side of the screen? I think if people use the

and

tags though I can see them.

Great MOC, really well done. I can't see the mechanisms because everything is black.

I like the helicopter a lot, but don't like all the weapons on it. The "naked" model is enough in my opinion.

I just watched too many GTA videos

The model is "wasted" now
