You have a single propellor on the underside. For physical accuracy (not
that it ever counts for much in steampunk!), I would recommend making it more
like a real helicopter. One way to do this would be to have a “tail rotor”
pointing sideways somewhere. Another way would be to have two
counter-rotating props underneath. Think of a Chinook helicopter.

Thanks for the comments. I like the idea of two props underneath. I might try
that on my next one. Like you mentioned, the laws of physics don’t always apply
in steampunk, which is why I went with a single large prop.
For steering, I kind of pictured it working like a hovercraft, which is why I
didn’t add a “rudder”. I like the idea of adding a tail rotor built into a
rudder section though. I think that would look cool.
Thanks again for the suggestions,
