Very nicely executed video featuring-
The Invertix 400 is the World's First Fully 3D Capable, Fixed-Pitch Multirotor. Employing cutting-edge design, engineering and manufacturing techniques, the Invertix represents a massive step forward in the quest of mastering aerobatic flight.

The first 3D quad? I don't think.
Maybe you are not well documented.
Wow, i fly Helicopters too, but this is even better, i want one :-)
It works, as long as you only show 3 seconds at a time.
@ RD,
CY has actually already put together a gas powered one (the Manta Ray) and he has it working almost as well as the electric one.
Although from watching the video I'm not sure I'd want to be anywhere near it with anybody other than Curtis operating it.

@ Gary - There is that!
That will depend on the software the copter is running, you could even do the magnetometer based "headfree" mode upside down. So the copter would fly upside down exactly like in normal orientation - so everyone seeing you fly upside down would think you are a champ but your software is cheating it into being a piece of cake...
Other than my inability to fly like that.
Hi all,
I was actually aware of others preceding this, but this one really did have exceptional performance and comparing videos of this and Curtis's it was the first time I had seen one come so close in performance.
The whos on first thing is always a issue here, and in this group in particular people really need to avoid making claims.
But this is going to be practical for more people to buy than a Stingray and they have it controlling very nicely so more power to them.
Frankly, with the right ESCs and a little work on our own flight controllers there isn't any reason we couldn't all be doing this.
Encore RC is in central Florida; Apopka, to be exact (as if the tree, sand, Spanish moss, and other Florida type features were not enough to locate the 'stage' for the video). Good points about 'Outlaw', Max. Likely just a rebranding.
The video should have stopped after the slow-mo forward clip...that was cool. Great marketing ploy.
Other than C.Y.'s Stingray, who else is actually offering a 3D quad for sale, in quantity?
C.Y.'s strategy allows for any rotating power source to drive the system, not just electric. Scale it up a bit and drive it with a liquid fuel system for loooong flight times.

@Gary. "The fact that you are able to make it almost as responsive as the Stingray 500 is a huge accomplishment." Well IMHO both approaches can not be compared because having adjustable pitch in props brings an advantage in maneuverability, that also leads to be able to fly upside down. If "worlds first" refers to worlds first commercial kit, it is not correct because commercial kits are available a long time. - I don't put in the link to the shop because here is not the place to advertise.
