Animating whirlybird parts in Makemdl

Hi, I am going to try my hand in building my first helicopter using FSDS. I thought a simple model first as a learning tool, then try the Mojave with a VC (the old US assault transport chopper).

So my question is 1) how do I animate main rotor & tail rotor? I know how to animate propellors in aircraft (prop.still; prop.slow; prop.blurred). Do I do this or is there anything special for helicopters?

Recurring question 2) how to I get a VC-panel light to show red or green as the landing gear is extended or retracted?

Thanks a bunch and keep you answers s-i-m-p-l-e. An idiot (myself) will be reading your answers.
