If only there was a crack team of Kerbonauts who could recover the dragonfly...

This video had the perfect timing. Needed something to watch while eating.

To make rotors throttle-able, act as if you were to tie an action group to the rotor motors, then tie them to the action group called “Throttle, ” no KAL required! Just make sure one of the two little boxes on the side of the part’s action “tag”(idk what to call it) has ascending lines, not level ones. The other little box should have an arrow, it dictates the direction of rotation. That one’s best figured out by trial and error on the pad.

I may mock you, but I haven't got a leg to stand on; my best accomplishment in KSP is returning a manned craft from Duna. Once.

Hey Matt, you were woundering how to control the rotors from breaking ground so here's a little tutorial: (works on already launched crafts)

In real life the rotation speed RPM of a helicopter and most rotor craft stay the same, while the blade pitch to increase the force or lift generated upwards (or downwards) (yes helicopters can fly upside down).
This allows the helicopter or rotorcraft to spin up while landed as the blades remain at a 0 degree angle wich is much safer than the lift being generated being tied to the rotation.

To do this in KSP:
you can do this in two ways; the first way, and the best way imo (as you can do this on already launched crafts) is to go into key-mappings in settings and find the analogue key-binding. Assign two keys, personally i mapped two analogue keys to numpad-2 & 5.
What you do next is enter the action group thingy (witch you now can do in flight now) and click on the blades and assign the blade pitch to your analogue keys. When you have selected it, there will be a arrow pointing north east, you can click the arrow one to make the selected key increase or decrease the blade pitch. Assign all the blades to the two analogue keys you mapped in the settings and make one decrease the pitch and the other increase it.
That's it. All you need to do as you fly now is to start the blades at 0, spin the rotors up and then gently tap the mapped analogue key. You can see the angle of the blade by right clicking it (recommended you do this before you spin the rortors and sticky it). In general you don't want the angle more than 15 degrees.
This way you can control the lift the rotors are generating by the angle of the pitch and keep a constant vertical speed without pressing any buttons (like spamming the breaks over and over)
The other way is to assign the pitch of the blades to a controller where the start of the sequence has the blade pitch at let's say -20* and at the end of the squence +20* and then you could move the slider to get precise control of the blade pitch, however you need a controller alreday on the craft.

Sorry it was a bit long and hopefully Matt or anyone who wounders how to make propellers reads this. feel free to ask questions or whatever. Also if you find this really cool, most of what i know comes from YT: "Smarter Every Day", he did a series called "helicopter physics" where he explains all this stuff and more (like a squash plate etc)
