third attemp at this and the least complicated. for some reason i couldnt get the pitch control on the prop to work but i think it would be more responsive and maneuverable if i could. takes a little practice to fly as it is, but you can always add a gyro and it becomes quite easy to handle.

    @atgxtg thanks. I find gentle controls and it is ok and if you put a gyro on it , it works quite well.

    It is a nice concept. It doesn't quite work, but has potential.
