Someone asked in the comments — can your 3D printed Mi-24 Hind Gunship RC helicopter actually lift a tank? I said let me find out. So I designed AliDrop. A simple 3D printable payload lock and release system for RC helicopters using just one small servo. Then I 3D printed a tank, cargo boxes and fuel barrels — because if you are going to do a mission, do it properly right? WarKroc picked up the tank, lifted off clean, transported it across the yard and set it down next to IronBear who was already landed and waiting. My 3D printed Mi-17 Gunship RC helicopter just sitting there like yes, finally, the supplies are here. Watching a 3D printed Mi-24 Hind Gunship RC helicopter actually lift and deliver a tank to a 3D printed Mi-17 military RC helicopter in my yard — I gotta admit, that never gets old. This is what scale RC helicopter flying is supposed to feel like. Actual missions. Actual RC realism. Not just flying in circles. WarKroc is a highly scaled Mi-24 Hind inspired RC helicopter fuselage designed to fit FlyWing GPS helicopter mechanics. IronBear is the Mi-17 inspired one. Both designed and 3D printed by me. And AliDrop? That one surprised even me honestly.
