Re: [Jsbsim-devel] Creating a quadcopter/UAV simulator

[grth_team <grt...@gm...>]

Hello,

We have experienced the tandem  rotor (H21C Piasecki)  , which gives  very 
good results, it should not be that difficult to get the same quality with 
quadcopter.

JSBsim rotor is very easy to handle.

My opinion :-)

Regards

Josh
