Dragonfly
"G.I. Joe finally have a dedicated attack helicopter, capable of close air support, recon, tank-killing, and even hunting other helicopters. The Dragonfly carries a 7.62mm minigun and 40mm automatic grenade launcher in a chin turret, as well as a forward firing, vertically pivoting 25mm autocannon attached to the port side skid. A typical full warload comprises of four long -range antiarmor missiles and two short-range air-to-air missiles under the wings, but depending on mission requirements, unguided rockets and other weapons can also be carried. The crew sits in tandem, with the pilot in rear and gunner in the front, although either crewmen can fly the helicopter, as needed.
Other attack helicopters can carry more heavy firepower, but the Dragonfly offers supreme agility, speed, and range, making it ideal for special operations needs."

This was an early classic Joe vehicle, and I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to build it. The Dragonfly is heavily inspired by the AH-1 Cobra gunship, with some notable modifications - the most important of which was the absence of a tail rotor without any obvious alternative method of keeping the helicopter under control. I considered adding a conventional tail rotor, but went instead with a tail-mounted NOTAR style jet to keep it the experimental vibe.
