Eurocopter x3

The Eurocopter X³ (X-Cubed) is an experimental high-speed compound helicopter developed by Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter). A technology demonstration platform for "high-speed, long-range hybrid helicopter" or H³ concept, the X³ achieved 255 knots (472 km/h; 293 mph) in level flight on 7 June 2013, setting an unofficial helicopter speed record. In June 2014, it was placed in a French air museum in the village of Saint-Victoret.

Like the real one, turbines's power can be transferd from the helicopter rotor to the two planes rotors, to achieve high speed.

To start the helicop... the plane... I mean, the thing :
- Enter and turn main electric switch On (under thrust lever)
- Up throttle lever to 0.40-0.50
- Switch engine On (next to the throttle lever)
- Switch screens On (under pilot seat)
- Disengage brake (next to the thrust lever)
- Up a little the thrust lever to exit hangar
- At 0.50 on trottle lever, you must climb. But, it's stable up to 1.0 trottle.
- When high, uo thrust lever to go fast !

- To reduce speed, make sure to down trottle lever very gently : there is a risk to brake the engine

[WIP]

No plan to add anything to this creation. It's just a demonstrator, without any application, and I prefer spend time on other projects.

So if you want to add stuff like nicer screens, go ahead and just add me as contributor.
