it all looks great mate, the most comment i have is that the heat distortion form the exhaust should go up so soon, yeas heat rises so that part is correct, but the exhaust on an Apache leaves the pipes at around 200 mph when at idle, and increases steadily as the blades cycle up. at that speed the heat should actually be seen to rise in an arc, that extends a few feet behind the exhaust ports.
Beyond that, my only other crit is one that i've had about the tutorial form the beginning, the blades cycle up to fast, but thats an aesthetic thing. it takes approx 45 seconds for the blades on any helicopter to cycle up to full speed, longer on some. all in all though, i like the project and how you've accomplished it.
Cant wiht to see it with the rest of the dynamics added to it.
