    Did you see this video?

    [ame]http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=5427660005582401612[/ame]

    It's a work in progress
    Ian told me, recently, that he has since removed all the gyros and it seems to fly far better

    I'm looking forward to better weather so we get to see it down my field again soon!
    Cheers,

      Christ what a machine, that's well and truly stretched, it also looks like something the ThunderBirds would use as a kind of sky crane.

      I've seen a few of the large CH-47 fly on YT, but never anything like that.

      Cheers mate that was well worth a look.

        It uses two sets of contra-rotating blades for stability, this way you don't need lots of complicated electronic mixers plus I would guess they are the same components as the Medivac, makes getting spares simple. It uses a 3 cell lipo so duration will pobably be near the Medivac.

              Heh heh...
              The blades are at 90° to each other (between heads) so they won't touch...
              Unless there's a mechanical failure on the drive between the two heads I guess?
