Nice craft, could you post some shots with the inner workings of the rotor bearings? I'd like some for a "Future project."

Yeah. I might release a sub-assembly of the bearing for individual use in other designs so the community can use them for their own projects.

FYI... "chook" is Kiwi slang for chicken. (might be in more nations but I can only speak for NZ)

I love your chicken chopper... just add feathers and it will be perfect.

And of course Kin translates to family or kind. So it literally translates into family chicken or kind of chicken. For some reason I think that's fitting. Like chooks the Kinchook can fly but not very high. Since its a helicopter won't be going to space soon.

KSC meets KFC, I like it... sending chooks into space... with the 7 secret ingredients... which are...

Metal, Fuel, Electricity, Flashing Lights, Guts, Luck and finally..... Jeb!

The bearings are now available for your own use!

Great work! This craft is both very beautiful and functional.

Thank you very much! 

It isn't the best example of what helicopters can be but I think that it is one of the simplest and well rounded. 

That being said it will probably have been the best creation I managed to build in this game. Unless you like land behemoths.

GET TO THE CHOPPA!!

 

Nice.

Make a CH-46 next. That'd be awesome!

@Jon144 You should put this on kerbalX. You craft would get a lot of attention as there aren't many helicopters on kerbalX. 

On a different note would you be okay with me modifying somethings on it and realeasing it as my own craft?

How do you make the rotors spin? I can't get them to move, they just turn the entire vehicle.

Have you decoupled them and switched to them? If you have, then a game update probably broke something.

Sure! as long as I get some credit. 

@Phantom000

Make sure you don't have any joint reinforcement mods or any other mods that alter the physical properties of the game before using this craft! 

[JWOC]

Hey Jon, thanks for the response I made a few helicopters using parts from your helicopter. I will make shure to give you credit
