Inspired by autogiros, this is the product of my foolish desire for a small, working, controllable heliplane. CTOL/VTO capable, still yet to achieve successful vertical landing.
Much still needed work remains, but at the least landing and avoiding the stall are now possible. Owing to their terribleness, the previous 4 iterations will never see the light of day.
