Today I'm taking on the task of creating a helicopter. Yes a helicopter something that's not got dedicated building parts to in KSP by default but are instead added by KAX (Kerbal Aircraft Expansion) a mod that adds all kinds of plane parts. I'm completely oblivious when it comes to complicated vehicles but this is the day I found out I'm actually semi-competent at helicopter constructing... Who knew O.o
Mods Used:
1. OPT Space Plane Parts - goo.gl/VRyAxN
2. KAX - goo.gl/z1ncgW
Hope you enjoy!
Stay Tuned Stay Awesome (o)

Airplanes: Center of lift goes behind the center of gravity(pulls nose down and helps with stall recovery).
You should have put the rotor blades above the center of mass
Dude! I love your channel!
I was just like browsing around on youtube and then I find you, well let me say one thing "Keep up the good work" because you have potential of growing massively as a channel!
You are now in my top 5 list of best youtubers. :)
+Jackiboy Thanks for the kind words dude I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, means a lot to me =)
Cheers for the motivation boost too!
+HalfEYEProduction u r da best
jake MC Appreciate it dude but I solemnly disagree :)
HalfEYEProduction no you have great potential. Ur really funny
HalfEYEProduction cc
"It's kinda like driving a hippo" xD
When you try flying helicopters in Arma 3 for the first time
John pianta yep
I always look forward to your vids keep up the good work
+music maker Glad you do. Thanks for the great continued support :)
+HalfEYEProduction I like your videos... I clicked the subscribe button with my nose!
Lassi Mäntylä Umm well, haven't heard that one before xD
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!
music maker yes yes I know
Really liking the channel, I've been watching a lot of KSP videos and you and heretic391 are my favorite so far
+Royalty Link I'm glad you're liking the channels content, means a lot :)
You deserve millions of subs loving ur vids someday ur channel will boom in know it:)
ive been watching your videos for a few years now and i am proud of you because you have made me a pro just by watching :) ill give you any sopport im so happy!
KSP be like: Got your nose! (at 19:23)
just started watching your videos. love it. you got yourself another subscriber!
+Jon Elward Glad you enjoy the videos enough to sub dude, thanks a lot! :)
Hey there, Halfeye! Nice vid as always :D I know this is an older vid, ish, but I just had to comment. You always look like you're having SO much fun in KSP, and that's really inspired me to go back myself even though I kinda get burnt out on it after a while. If you're into ANY mods at all, you've absolutely GOT to make Kerbal Engineer one of your must-have mods, especially if you're designing helis. You're obviously a better designer than me, cuz I couldn't do mine without it! LOL
+The Oreo Glad to hear it! Thanks for the support, I'm happy I've somehow inspired you =)
As for the mod I've seen it but haven't really looked into it to much so I'll check it out.
Watching your vids makes me learn more than studying.
+Raiderkillz Well then you'll learn a lot of the wrong stuff lol :P
Thanks dude!
"Its like trying to drive a hippo"
Use solid fuel boosters for missles
I believe I did in a revisit video sometime after this one :)
Do a how to install mods
Lars Haas Perhaps one day as others have asked, we'll see though...
Yay someone has finally reacted to one of my comments YYYYYYAAAAAAYYYY!
Lightgamer BR I believe there is one in the description of the first "Revisiting my Abominations" video.
Thing with helicopters is that most do have a rear horizontal flap that helps control the pitch and angle of attack. The main rotor also isn’t totally fixed in place, it can angle itself slightly, enough for the onboard computers to properly utilize all of this to make the helicopter more maneuverable and easier to control. Also they do have a tail that sticks up vertically and the tail rotor is usually placed towards the top of the tail. You need to add a fixed wing on the tail that doesn’t have flaps on it, and also add two flaps horizontally, just as you would for a plane. And then stick the rotor at the top of the tail wing, also try messing with the power ratio of both blades to ensure you don’t have the tail rotor spinning too fast and forcing your yaw. Maybe even adding a vertical tail wing with a flap will help in this game, I mean it’s extra control realistically and with SAS it should help out quite a bit. Also, you want to make sure the tail rotor is spinning and applying force in the opposite direction that the main rotors yaw will be acting. So if your rotor is rotating counter clockwise the torque reaction from the rotation will want to spin you the other way, so clockwise, meaning you would want the tail rotor on the left side and applying the force to the right. And it’s a balancing game. Even when flying for real the pilots have rudder controls because as you have the main rotor increase thrust, you have to increase the tail rotor thrust to match that force wanting to spin the helicopter.
Ahh I see you kinda figured that out lol. But you should’ve put Lansing gear on it if it’s supposed to be an Apache lol
This guy has the most mods I have ever seen
"Its like trying to land a hippo* ... yes we feel u, we know how it feels! Every time!
The main rotor goes above the centre of mass and the tail rotor spins so that the rotational force it exerts on the helicopter is opposite to the direction the main rotor spins. Also the missiles need air intakes on them and dont need oxidiser
Hey man I really enjoy your channel you just earned a new sub!
+samray_ 514 Thanks for your support then dude, I'm glad you've enjoyed the content enough to wanna stick around! =)
"Its like trying to drive a hippo," Since when do you drive a hippo?
try make a quad-copter !!!
I'll keep the suggestion in mind and I'll perhaps try one sometime in the future...
i am going to try making one, and use TCA so it can actually hover
HalfEYEProduction am I a idiot watching this as a tutorial???😂😂😂😂
I made a quad-jet just yesterday. Don't have any heli mods, sorry. :P
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=885148881
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=885148449
your_comment_sux_ but_i I made one with stock parts but it can only fly for a few seconds before it rips its self apart.
Great vid HalfEye! Very cool.
11/10 IGN would explode again
in the beginning, it looked like a vacuum cleaner
6:44 i died at the "grand reveal," it looked so stupid XD
+FunkyFresh XXL lol now you metioned that it does look quiet tragic at that point :D
Bruh!!! You pulled up a picture of a Blackhawk Helicopter and said it had one tail fin on one side of it. You should look at more picture of helicopters, cause bruh it was really funny (the tail fin is called an aileron) but keep up the videos though, you make some cool aircraft and I look forward to these videos, I love aircraft cause Iam trying to be a Chinook pilot in the U.S.Army
thats the coolest thing I've ever seen in ksp
+starz the midnight maniac I'm glad you think so! =D
+HalfEYEProduction hey can you make a boat? please thanks for replying : )
starz the midnight maniac Boats have been suggested before and are on the list for potential builds in the future :)
Hahaha! Best 'accidental stunt pilot' I've ever seen. Im only partially through the video, but it seems your CG is further back than your main rotor, which is partially why forward flight is so difficult. Move the main rotor backwards. NVM, you did it in the next 2 seconds, haha! GG.
This. Is actually a very cool build!
+Andres Iniguez Thanks dude, I'm glad you like it!
You need more subs... You deserve it. But the first thing i think of looking at this title was... When i tried this, i threw my controller at a wall. GG
+Proc Thanks for the moral support dude and If you threw the controller at the wall I have to ask, why did you have a controller in your hand... It's KSP after all that seems impossible to me lol :)
Mostly because you can use a controller for this game, and when i tried building a helicopter with this mod, It was SO frustrating trying to figure out how everything worked. ;)
+Proc Ohh lol makes more sense now. Still can't believe you'd use a controller for this game that sounds so alien to me for a simulation game like this.
Every body loves your vids bro
+Teejay Glynn Thanks for the kind words and motivation boost dude! =)
I remember watching this 3 years ago its 2018 now
I don't even have to watch the video I just automatically hit like!
+Chicken Thug That's just favoritism lol ;P
Half eye. Sadly a chinook would be simply impossible in ksp. The way a chinook (and sea knight) work is the way it yaws is the rear rotor head (the top bit in simple terms) slows down and the torque spins the helicopter around (same goes with the front rotor as well) they also spin different ways from each other (contra rotating) one spins anti clockwise and the other clockwise. It's all a bit complicated but if you've grown up with a heli pilot as your dad it makes a whole lot more sense XD
Oops I meant counter rotating rotors
+Plutonium_Panda69 - That's funny you should mention that because in the latest video I show just that very thing. It has a few bugs and issues but does work surprisingly, to a degree. Although I can't deny the logic behind what you say, I can however deny the fact that KSP will comply with real word physics :P
Love your Chanel bro. I haven't seen a Chanel that does ksp an I could understand them. 😁👍
Thanks I guess :)
Appreciate the support!
you have to use boost for the missiles to work
+Devin Melfi Yeah I addressed the issue in a later video by simply replacing them with SRB's :P
well Im sure you know now but for new mod players, currently KAX dont have counter rotational force. so you should use tail roter purely decoration.
that is the center of thrust, the center of lift is blue
Dude, Center of weight vs center of thrust, set throttle limiter on tail roger to 3 while checking that, just for future reference.
The Firespitter heliblades don't count, As they have a built-in hover mode which completely locks the altitude. So basically, If you do a barrel roll or stop the heliblades from spinning while in Hover Mode, It'll still be locked in place.
you are truly a PRO
+Rueben Burton Just a slight exaggeration but I appreciate the compliment :D
I have a challenge: try to make a a VTOL -UFO looking SSTO!
+Leg kid 104 I'm not sure about all of this but a UFO (flying saucer) has been suggested and is on the list :)
Ksp does not need counter rotation so the back propeker is making it want to spin around and all the lift is in the fron so the back propeler is supposed to be on top and not side
your channel is awesome!
+Paulo Neto I'm glad you think so dude, thanks for the support!
+HalfEYEProduction Make a flying saucer aka UFO
RenoPvp Its been suggested and is on the list =)
Nostalgia from ur vids 😢
if I saw that flying near me in the beginning of the video I would run like 90 miles away from it
This is so cool I love it
+Lewis brown Cheers dude, I'm glad xD
the tail rotor and main rotor have to turn different ways! Thats why the tail rotor is considered the helicopters anti-torque.
+HappyComedy I guess that makes sense but honestly it worked, rather oddly by simply removing a lot of the thrust from the tail rotor somehow xD
9:35 Thats not the center of lift thats the center of thrust and it needs to be aligned perfect with the center of mass
if u add that one nose cone with the antenna thats in the reaction wheel catagory the missiles will work. i used them for bombs on a bomber and the engines kept working and they flew straight.
Its like watching a kid that got a RC helicopter for his bday
Those little bombs you drop from the helicopter would be pretty good infrared decoys if they actually flew.
You know that the tail prop is actually making it worse?
Yep.
though, if you don't have a tail prop, you can't really control it, not sure if that works in ksp though
Alama Joradon Nah it's actually pointless to have a tail rotor in KSP from what I know, it makes no difference lol.
The tail prop does nothing good in ksp i have tried everything to make use of the tail prop the only time it works is when it breaks off then the heli actually flys right
Ksp ignores the torque form the main rotor
Again, impressive, how easy are the helicopter parts to use?
Keep making awesome videos.
+NooneofImportance There not difficult at all honestly, I thought they'd be confusing too before I tried this.
Anyways thanks for the support, means a lot!
CH-47 "Chinook"
Chinook (pronounced "shinook")
"The Boeing CH-47 Chinook is an American twin-engined, tandem rotor, heavy-lift helicopter
Top speed: 188 mph
Length: 99′
Engine type: Lycoming T55
With its triple-hook cargo system, the CH-47D can carry heavy payloads internally and up to 26,000 lb (12,000 kg) (such as 40-foot or 12-metre containers) externally."
you should make a vtol. helicopters with 2 propellors on each side. note front to back. side to side.
Technically this principle has been suggested in the form of a V-22 Osprey, so yeah ;)
***** Thanks for the kind words dude, cheers for your support!
Use Bd armory mod next time btw
Still an awesome vid
+Swatdude24 At the time I made this video I wasn't sure a mod exists but all good now, anyways glad you enjoyed the video =)
You should have used Solid Fuel Boosters for the missiles. Very fast, and can't turn off.
I believe I did when I went back and revisited this craft.
HalfEYEProduction Oh wow. Thanks so much for replying. I'll check it out, thanks!
Neil De Jesus NP I guess :D
Perhaps mobile artillery or AA next? If not, a type 99 MBT or BTR-90?
It looked like a damn mosquito at 6:50 lol
You'd think after millions of years of humans evolving into Kerbins
we would have better planes helis and rockets
mouthy?? hahah. dude I'm dying 😂
+Edmund Vaz What? I thought it was clever lol xD
+HalfEYEProduction The noise you made absolutely made my day.
Do you still post. I subscribed and turned the notifications on.
just 'saiyan'(:P) what u keep calling the center of lift is really the center of thrust... the center of lift is the blue arrow not the purple one
+TheKrazedBlaze If I called it that back when I did this video then yeah I was a derp lol xD
+HalfEYEProduction XD ya at first when i started playing i thought "ooh pretty colours" :P
TheKrazedBlaze You know the struggles lol xD
+HalfEYEProduction ya look me like... i dunno... 3-5 days of playing to figure out that im a dumbass and that the colours accally meant something :D
Sorry for complaining but you should have put more weight in the front. That is why it kept pulling back
Did u actually look on a helicopter cuz u literally flipped the rear end the opposite direction, I have never seen a chopper without a rudder either that's why u were having so much prob. Your channel is crazy fun to watch btw hope to see u hitting that 100k soon
+Tafari Thompson I did that because I was having issues when it was the right way up so to speak. Once it was flipped downwards I seemed to of fixed the issue, whether that was because of the tail or not I don't know but I kept it like it because it was working lol.
Anyways thanks for the support, means a bunch!
Apache, Cobra, Havoc...
*M O U T H Y*
mouthy ftw!
What's the outro song eye? I WANT TO KNOW!! Lol
+MonkeyBoyGamingYT Its called "Can't Slow Down".
+HalfEYEProduction You have gained, like, 200 subscribers in a matter of 12 hours, including myself. For a relatively small channel, that is insane.
+HalfEYEProduction thx man. If u can't remember me, I used to have a name "WolfGaming". Lol.
Mica lobia Tell me about it o.0 Kinda crapping my pants over here lol ;P
Also thanks for your support, means a lot!
+HalfEYEProduction A tip for you, don't put the main rotor directly into the fusalage behind the cockpit, put something in there to make it highter, another fuel tank or something.
The problem with the missles is that your using jet engines. Try using rocket engines. See if that will work. Y'know the ones with flames that com outta the back. Those ones.
1:59
what a coincidince
wow this is cool
+MacAnthony Ekwo I know right it's awesome considering I built it :P
Wow! Is it a mode for the game or new version
Shouldve added the tailroter to the top of the fin
I landed a plane on the helicopter pad on the VAB My life is complete.
Nice job 😘
Half eye your problem for the first 6 minutes was the tail rotor was facing the wrong way
+Mighty Beast Well I'm glad it was only 6 minutes and not forever, unlike most of the problems I face in this game :D
the missles would work without jet engine but with rocket engines
0:45 that guy was playing need for speed
I just realized you sound like Simon Pegg
hey put air intakes on the jet and they will fire correctly
U want the center of lift to be the same as center of mass
Impressive
+Alex Ware Glad you think so! :P
no chopper gunner?
You missing me and andesites in the back room
You should try to make a missile that you can control
can i use the craft to play with btw you can use bd armory for weapons
There's a download link in the description of the "Revisiting my Abominations 1" video.
Also I would've used BDArmory but at the time I made this video I didn't know about it.
wats is the mod to the propeller
The front is causing you problems, you really don't want an air intake there, it should be just an aerodynamic nose.
+QuantumBraced Maybe but I liked the look of it at the time.
Nice video! But I don't get it how to control it? Give us da link of the helicopter please! :D nice vids.
+MonkeyOut You can find a download in the description of the "Revisiting My Abominations" video :)
I''m happy you enjoyed the video too!
HalfEYEProduction Oh... Ok. Ill visit it later! :D (btw idk why did i changed my nickname lol)
Inline reaction wheels :)
I have a question please this is a full game?
can someone please tell me the mod he used?
hmm why not try combining KAX with B9 aerospace and bd armory
+John Dave De Jesus Funnily enough I have all those mods installed nowadays :P
HalfEYEProduction well...yur the man
HalfEYEProduction btw I really want to see yu make the ship from Prometheus ;)))
John Dave De Jesus I'll add it to the list of suggestions but no guarantees as I imagine the lag would be rather insane if I did, we'll see though ;)
HalfEYEProduction welp then tweakscale would solve the problem
you need small rocket boosters on the missiles.
+Aric Showman I addressed the issue in the Revisiting My Abominations video I believe ;P
xD hadnt watched that yet.
you should try the cargoplane challenge, but launching a helicopter out of it.
Do a Tiger I Tank Challenge.
Have a challenge for you: Build f-22 in fully stock, with VTOL! MUHAHAHA!!!!
+Давид Задорожный I can't guarantee it but I'll keep it in mind.
All you need is air intakes on the missiles
+Flaming_Taco They'd still take of way too slow to be effective though. I fixed them in a revisit video I did later :)
take off the back propeller that helps
The back propeller keep it from spinning from the main rotor
