its about time that the heli people figured it out to turn the rear rotor blade 90 degrees to make it a pusher LOL

Do not Judge, or you too will be Judged. For in the same way you Judge others, you will be Judged, and with the same measure you use, it will be measured to You.

Also looks like they had to make the main rotors coaxial in order to do so....

they just did not want to have to add rudders on the rear of the heli, like an Airboat, so they added another counter rotating main Blade LOL
