A small, fast, survival-friendly helicopter with docking and winch capabilities while maintaining excellent speed and height!


Size: 11x5x9


This is a continuation of the Caelus family of helicopters. I found the maneuverability of the heli at low speeds to be lacking, especially due to no left/right movement capabilities, so I fixed that with this complete overhaul of the heli! I had to cut back on aesthetics, but it was absolutely worth the additional gimmicks I was able to fit in.


It can lift a considerable amount of cargo, up to a third of its own mass. 
The Utility variant uses only 3 non-superheated engines for its propulsion. One of these is fully dedicated to the forward/backward propulsion to ensure a 20 m/s top speed, while the remaining two power the main rotor and all other functions. It's capable of reaching speeds of 20 m/s at all heights. Max height depends on how much power you give the main rotor, my two suggested configs can reach y=290 and y=250 respectively.


Keybinds:
W - Forward
S - Backward
L-Shift - Throttle up
Ctrl - Throttle down
Q - Rotate left
E - Rotate right
A - Left
D - Right
G - Engage pulley. Hold while pressing A/D to adjust pulley height. Note: this also moves your heli left/right, because they share the same drivetrain.


The docking connector has no keybind. You can find a toggle latch for it to the back-left of the pilot seat.



Note: the space keybind in the typewriter does absolutely nothing, was a leftover from a earlier prototype. You can ignore/delete it safely.


Depending on the Main Rotor Power the height range of the heli can be finetuned. This is the Analog Lever behind the pilot seat. I suggest using my spreadsheet (Create Aeronautics Discord) and some testing to find your best range. I personally use rotor power 11 for fine control between y=200 and y=100 as that's the height of my survival base. The stats for rotor power 11 and 10 can be found in the last image attached.
