    Yes I thinck the mechanical part is not a big issue to built, and I also think it should be nearly stable regarding the weight position.
    The hard part must be the regulation because of the transitions between helicopter flight to airplane flight.

    This spherical flying machine is very cool. I would love to build one of these. Time for a new kit, DIY Drones.  :)

    You can see detail design, but in Japanese.

    Soon I'll have a way to practice my light sabre skills:

    I love that clueless reporter putting her face right next to the prop like that.  She's obviously never seen prop blades break off and shoot across the room.

    Glad you liked it, but Mr Mortimer and co are the real stars, and, as usual, light years ahead of me! :)

    mm i can't see anything special about it... basically a 3D foamy in a spherical shape with IMU stabilization

    wow..it is soon going to be like the drone in Star Wars, that is sent to the planets looking for Luke Skywalker.

    I would like to build one of these too, i like the crash proofness of it, as it will roll and thus dispurse the energy rather than absorbing it.
