Shade Tree Micro Aviation Releases K-1200 K-MAX
Shade Tree Micro Aviation (STMA) has released their latest project: the Kaman K-1200 K-MAX.They state that the "K-MAX is a unique helicopter used for lifting operations. Thanks to its two rotors turning in opposite directions it is extremely stable in all conditions."
More information can be found by visiting their product page at the org store.
Thanks for the info, Jim! Glad you're getting some enjoyment out of it even if it's in 9 fo the moment!
In 10x I could get off the ground but quickly loose control. Like the controls were amplifying input with every movement. After 20 crashes I decided to give the 9x
version a chance. Was glad i did, talk about fun challenges. 10x has a long road ahead to get there, patience is 9x.

1) Did you make sure you have the v10 version installed in v10?:
2) The manual states the thing flies differently from "regular" helicopters because of the lack of tail rotor. My dad, who helped design and build the thing, told me about the training helicopter pilots have to do for certification. Even in the real world synchromesh aircraft take some getting used to.
You have to be very gentle with this thing at low speeds.

Everything was installed as per the instructions. I do know how to helicopters in X-Plane. having been doing so for over 10 years.
XP10 is still a work in progress as we all know. So, helicopters fly somewhat different depending upon the one you fly. The Kmax
flies just fine for me in 9x. 10x was a lesson in futility, was no fun getting it airborne only to quickly loose control. Not to worried
though. I have the MD-902 Explorer working just fine 10X.

choppers in every version of X-plane since early 5x. 10x and this type of chopper have a long ways to go in development. 9x was awesome
flying the adventures. Jim did a great job.
