The bucket serves a s alanding skid for the mothership i guess since he used the original landing skids on his x8 Ecilop to perform the take off... Pretty nice project and very interesting.
The X16 copter is a study in efficiency. Ferdinand or "EndOfDays" is the same person who did the 65 minutes quad flight. http://vimeo.com/38908434
The X16 uses the same efficient motor and propeller combination to see if it can be scaled up to lift a camera and still get very good flight times. X16 build log here http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1763685
The two stage copter is just an experiment he did, simply because he could.. :)

I suppose there is an application for this, the task is, trying to figure out what. :)
Im curious what the 16 motor flying bucket is for.
