  • Part Count: 237
  • Pure Stock

A stock in-line tandem rotor Chinook-alike helicopter

Dry weight: 60.5 tons

Weight fully fueled: 108 tons

Ample cargo bay and fuel tanks. With tanks empty and infinite fuel turned on she tops out at a little over 140m/s in level flight. With full tanks, she manages around 100m/s.

Not quite as easy to fly as the Wyvern and her variants, she still flies pretty well.
