    I can't wait until this thing comes out. Profile fuse or not, me must have.

    Amazingly manueverable using rotor control only.
    I can't imagine that it even needs any control surfaces added, like the full scale ones use.

    Must use a stabilization controller, unless that R/C pilot is able to keep it stable all by himself... again, thats something the full scale military can't always get right!

    Looking at airframe I get the feeling it is a "proof of concept". So basically you pay for the mechanical tilt-rotor setup and just happens to get something to test it with. I imagine it would not be that hard building your own airframe around the system adding rudders for normal flight operation.

    I think I see servos in there for tilting the rotors. So it should get some of the efficiency benefits of winged flight.

    What a minute, here. The add says "no control surfaces". This thing is just two heli's linked together. Look at the picture. No winged flight. No tilt rotor mechanism, no ail/ele? Might has well have a conventional heli.

    Looks like there main product is the mechanics. The airframe sucks for what this thing is. DIY Osprey fuse?

    I have often dreamed of making my TwinStar in a V-22, but I do know, I hope that one day the AP is able to control something similar, I imagine that not long be getting.
