Do you have any video footage from the onboard camera? Looks like the lower section where the camera is mounted sways a lot during accel/decel and direction changes. Almost like a pendulum. Cool concept none the less.
That's very innovative! How many actuators are you using to control this? Does both rotors have collective and cyclic pitch? Are they driven with 1 motor or 2 separate and are they driven at constant rpm? Can you say what the diameter and weight of this vehicle is and what the power consumption is ( I'm wondering if this could be more efficient compared to a multirotor).

Thanks for the great comments! More information will be available this Thursday when our new website goes live. Keep 'em coming!
I can see the military already licking their lips.

Looks great! I think if you can make it durable, you will have a really good product. Looking forward to seeing more!
Pre-Ordering start??

Looks great guys! Nice work.
Anyone looking for a bit of background on Ascent here is an interview I did with Nate, Jon and Peter about this project: http://droneblog.com/2015/03/23/how-ascent-aerosystems-is-looking-t...
