NOTAR helicopters
AH-1 Cobra (sorta...)
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... ;-)
Very nice Mladen! Nice to see some other types of aerospace out here in .space! I like how you used a 1x2 panel (trans) for a pseudo-HUD. The Landing gear are real neat too. I juist love the weapons all over it! Rick (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)
woah, awesome! There's so much detail everywhere, well could I really expect anything 'non-detailed' from you? No way. :-D It has a really cool shape to it, sorta reminds me of a soaring eagle, or a hawk, and then at the last moment it dives at it's (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)
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. (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)
(...) I really like the landing gear. Nice and simple. Do you have a problem with them not holding up the weight very well? If not, I'll have to borrow the design for future reference... (...) -Duane (23 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)

I don't think the canopy looks out of place at all, but if you replaced the blue canopy with a clear transparent one (if you have one) I think it would work a lot better with the colour scheme.

(...) What improvments does NOTAR offer? I saw a helicopter with a tail like that, and it rotate in place, and flip it self over. Did I see the same thing? (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Beautifully done! I guess my only suggestion is to lengthen the blades on the rotor. Very cool looking and a very interesting form. Love those tail fins monted on the wings. Looks like it packs quite a punch, too. ~ Tom -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - (...) (23 years ago, 4-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)
