something different, vertical quadcopter (or coaxial bicopter) with some mixing, could be made to fly forward without pitching forward

got into a bit of a discussion over at RCG over general bicopter setups the most common is pendulum style, hang the weight below the props, self levels, makes common sense then theres the OAT system (oblique axis tilt) where they use the gyroscopic forces from the motrs for attitude...
