    Recommend counter-rotors for lift. The only other realistic options I've tried are the Osprey rotors (which use nozzles for both lift & forward flight) or VERY Lightweight 2 rotor chinook-style rotorcraft; I just posted a 300 mph custom chinook if you need an example.

    At high enough speeds the thing will start rolling until you cannot control it, there is no way to compensate for the rotors going around and producing no lift on one side.

    also, the thing on the side will make it unbalanced, even though it looks cool

    use rotators to lift, not vtol nozzels on rotor blades. this will balance it better.
