Progress on VTOL for the PX4 Flight Core: Full forward and back transitions now with tailsitters and tilt-rotors.
We have now full VTOL support for tilt-rotors, in addition to tailsitters, which were introduced six months ago (video). People interested in flying these can find contact details and build logs on this page. You can follow us on G+ or on Twitter for general PX4 platform updates.

I would sure like to know where this is at now I know guys have been having good success dumping AVA. What is the switch over like and is there a forum / github whatever with the play by play info thats up to date.
Finally, some action on VTOL tailsitters. Great news! I'm a newbie on PX4, but looking forward to lots of creative new VTOL designs. Where can I /who can I talk with for help converting my three VTOL tailsitters (currently running on the KK2.1.5 board) to Pixhawk/PX4?
This is great news
Awesome stuff guys! Will be adding myself to the testers list!
Do you also support non-tilt rotor VTOL (quad) with a pusher motor? Is there a way to configure your existing system to do this to get smooth airspeed based transitions between fight modes?
Why not add this to the APM also? It's not like there's much math involved, and we really don't need "transitions".
A simple "prophang" mode added to the mix would suffice.

Keeping drone startup valuations soaring.
Spectacular. Congratulations!
This is AWESOME.
Many thanks to all developers who made this possible
