Gas Powered, Super Heavy Lift! You Have To See This!

My Boss emailed me these photos. I have no other details or a link to this project:upset:

Would be good to see this in action!

Do not attempt this without first donning protective flip flops:black_eyed:

whats this guys theory on those red cloth tubes around the props - they move with the stick in the cockpit - thrust vectoring ???

i think the only way to do this with IC engines is to use variable pitch props...

talking of variable pitch props has anyone ever used them on an RC multirotor - fixed rpm motors with ESCs in govenor mode - then fast pitch servos for each motor...

would open up some wild aerobatics and inverted flight etc...

Or ... just fly single rotor heli's which have all that stuff worked out already !

But that would be no fun, and would not be in the pioneering spirit man naturally has. now would it ?

I have been pondering the thought of a variable pitch quad for a long time, either using some of the hollow shafted motors or bolting on "normal" R/C helicopter tail rotors to do the job. and outputting to servo's as listed above, maybe even adding in some vectoring using servos again like a tri-copter does

cool

i would say thats taking fpv to a new limit

Heres another MultiRotor people mover project!
