I don't reply very often to people's MOCs these days because I find it
difficult to say something different everytime I like something and I really
hate telling people I don't like their work.

But in this case, I've got somthing to say.

I like this.

I really like sci-fi helos.  I've built one and a half so far, the second
one got scraped for something more urgent.  The first one was created with a
collection of less than three thousand pieces, so it didn't look much like
what I had wanted.

Your Loiterer incorporates all sorts of stuff that is just...cool.

The landing gear seem to be the dessert of the MOC, a great inovation, of
course I could have missed someone elses use of pullys-for-landing, but I
don't think so.

I also like the anti-mech idea.

I've been building some anti-mech units myself but it's not very cost
effective for me to convert my pics to disk for uploading to brickshelf.
It's nice to see someone else building anti-mech units while I wait for
money to grow on trees.

Great job!

The "Loiterer" utilizes [1] NOTAR technology, therefore it needs no tail rotor.
Also, it DOES have retractable landing gear. Just wanted to get those two
things staight... ;-)

Enjoy!
