Now if they made actually look like the one from avatar, I would have one for sure.

me too, im sure someone will put a kit together at some point

That model is home built and isnt a kit although I think hes just hung a 450 body under the main bicopter workings, the idea is to build one for your self how ever you want it, it uses the same KK controller as the quads and tricopters use but with his bicopter firmware flashed to it, Minsoo Kim the builder of that bicopter is also the same person that re wrote all the KK firmware and enhanced it, heres another video of his bicopter

I want to see a vid of it pirouetting on the spot. Not sure why, but I think it would look well mint.

Gunship ???? Looks more like a flying Mickey Mouse to me

Looks like someone else is working to produce a bicopter.

I'd just come from watching this on YouTube when I caught this thread.
Coincidence or spookiness?

That setup/assembly looks a lot more refined, think i could be getting me a cheapo hk450 to chop up and make a proper shell that matches the film bicopter

whats with the eurovision music....

The second one says he cant fly fast forward or he looses stability well if he had payed more attention to the first one he would of noticed the servo controlled stabiliser at the rear to enable forward flight

As Ali says it's a work in progress but it's doing pretty well for a prototype.

Shellwise I guess it's a choice of Avatar or Osprey.

Whale Tail.
That rear paddle/elevator reminds me of the early American model bi-copter, bit of a fudge really, dragwise
Some sort of override is needed in the control logic to stop the stab system from fighting the rotor tilt.
I'm sure they'll come up with a solution.

Both clever concepts that do work reasonably well, considering the lift of a 450 size body with just 2 props i'm impressed ! a more affordable & less complicated scale Osprey would be great !

[Gaza07]

The ali bloke uses a of the shelf product that will never do the job any better than it is now as it doesnt have the possability for him to change the firmware to add any more stability,
Minsoo kim how ever wrote the software and produced his own board I think the two are a mile apart and his works the other half works, while the second one does indeed look better thats just a case of throwing the right amount of cash at it, Ali will never get past a prototype as he hasnt developed anything just used off the shelf products,
It just pi**es me of when other people take other peoples ideas and then try to take the credit

Shove that up ya whale tail
