@ Shaun, I designed them and am having a local pan company (Lloyd Pans in Spokane Washington) spin them for me. I based the original design off of a 9in cheese cake pan.
@ Daniel, It flies pretty well for all of the added weight. With a little fine tuning of the shape of the shroud we will be getting enough thrust to counter the weight of the shrouds. I havent noticed any issues with prop wash. Yes the rings are made from aluminium.

It looks relly great. Do you have any video

Love it, wingtip vortices are drag ;-) So are rotor strikes, especially when striking flesh.
How did you form, or where did you acquire, the aluminum shrouds?
