Hey guys,
Has anyone ever tried to tilt/angle the rotors to help stabilizing the aircraft? If you look at De Bothezat design, it does use this principle. Here is a picture illustrating the concept:

There must be something to the idea since the the new pro hexa frame from DJI, Zenmuse S800 uses it.

One problem might be that if you have a hexa or octo, with some ability to fly with one motor out, the sideways forces would no longer be balanced and it would tend to drift around a bit? Frankly, that might always be a problem, drifting around as the motors change speeds to try and keep it level.
Just thinking about it... meh, I'd just go ahead and give it a shot, see if it works!
Yes, I thought of that too. Works sort of like dihedral in an airplane.
