Westland Lynx Mk1
The Westland Lynx is a British multi-purpose twin-engined military helicopter designed and built by Westland Helicopters at its factory in Yeovil. Originally intended as a utility craft for both civil and naval usage, military interest led to the development of both battlefield and naval variants. The Lynx went into operational usage in 1977 and was later adopted by the armed forces of over a dozen nations, primarily serving in the battlefield utility, anti-armour, search and rescue and anti-submarine warfare roles.
The Lynx is a fully aerobatic helicopter with the ability to perform loops and rolls. In 1986, a specially modified Lynx set the current Fédération Aéronautique Internationale’s official airspeed record for helicopters.

V/B | Increase and decrease collectiveThis Westland Lynx recreation is very aerobatic and extremely fast, even compared to some of my propeller planes, owing to the real things reputation for speed and agility.
The controls are smooth, swift, and highly responsive. It has no autopilot, but hovering should be a breeze because it’s very naturally stable, but can pull high Gs if necessary. It is faster and more agile than most other (mechanically realistic) helicopters on the workshop.
You can throw this helicopter around with wreckless abandon, barrel rolls, loops, or spinning around. Even a high speed dive is generally safe in this aircraft Just don’t shut the rotor off mid-air, it cannot auto-rotate! (glide)
Creators Note:
This helicopter is currently the pinnacle of my besiege rotorcraft-making skills, taking several years of cumulative skill and experience into account to make the best handling helicopter possible.Please do not re-upload this item without permission from me, the author.
