Initially conceived for a cinematic taking place on floating bases of Jool, this synchropter design proved to be elegant and efficient in a variety of purposes. From a small and agile cargo lifter or a crew transporter to an armed variant offered here. Capable of firing up to four unguided missiles in this configuration it can give enough trouble for its price. Powered by an RTG, it can fly indefinitely in thicker atmospheres, however it requires recharge when used on Duna.

Use main throttle to control the blades angle of attack and U/J or some other translation combination to control the torque (please check the action groups, I’m sorry I couldn’t look it up)

On why are there only four missiles:

Well, the trouble is that colliders in KSP aren’t exactly perfect, so the forward pair of landing legs prevents the last two missiles from reaching their destination, instead making them propel the rotorcraft as boosters in a misguided suicide attack. Of course, this problem can be easily remedied by moving the rockets further away from the hull, but I opted not to do so to preserve cinematic look. If you choose to do so, please add solid propellant to the rockets and enable staging on decouplers.
