KerbalX

This is the first semi-articulated 3axis statically stable helicopter. The Huron should be mostly stable in roll, even with SAS disabled. (helicopter will roll slightly left in a hover due to tail rotor bias)

!WARRNIG! if helicopter rolls-right bellow 50mp/s or excessively rolls above 50mp/s, ksp’s memory leak has begun affecting craft and you’ll have to restart the game for optimal performance.

Craft file updated to version 1.4.1 - improved level top speed by 10mp/s (60mp/s) and static stability bellow 60mp/s

changes:
-angled main-rotor slightly to account for tail-rotor side-slip in hover
-angled tail 5 degrees to cancel out side-slip and offset roll caused by main-rotor
-raised tail to counter high-speed dissymmetry
-retuned the counter-torque to account for tail height/angles adjustments
-lowered feathering/flapping hinge motor size to 0
-adjust hinge angles to -2.0,2.0

Huron is designed to be a demonstrator, to show how a single rotor can be made properly in KSP with 3 axis of articulation to compensate for asymmetric lift.

previous versions….
Craft file updated to version 1.1
changes:
-retuned counter-torque for better balance and flight dynamics
-adjusted landing gear settings to prevent unintended jitters and overstressing
