Hi all,
Just to let you all know that Curtis Youngblood Ent. (well known in 3D heli world) is going to release on next spring/summer, the world first 3D capable quad !
You should take a look here : http://curtisyoungblood.com/V2/content/3d-quad

This is by far the coolest Quad I have ever seen.
I think that's kinda like asking why are there monster trucks. It's just different and fun.
To flip a quad you don't need collective pitch.
What would be the main advantage/s of this over a 3D helicopter? You lose efficiency and flight time by adding rotors and decreasing their diameter, and by introducing collective pitch you also lose a conventional quad's primary advantage of minimal mechanical complexity.
I'm hoping that somebody who has experience flying 3D helicopters can suggest how this 4-rotor configuration might be advantageous.
this is the future of aerobatics quad !!! insane
Quadcopter + Collective Pitch + World Class 3D Helicopter Pilot = Totally Insane!
Can't wait to see more on this although for me trying to fly like that is always going to be called crashing.

this is the best pilot i have seen
The AscTec version was never economically viable. It would be notable if the youngblood team found a way to make it affordable. It's not the 3D quad you're supposed to notice, but the GOPRO HERO 3, another piece of technology no-one in the world has been able to reproduce at the same price. There's definitely a trend towards products based on neither patents or open source, but mass production techniques that no-one can reproduce.
I was going to say the same thing as Jean. IT is cool that it's an H-Quad though.
It is not the world's first 3D quad, as mentioned here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1788191
However it is an incredibly cool project, and something I'm really looking forward to seeing more of.
