This is a great success story, but I wonder about the current legality. Perhaps they have a COA, but it wasn’t mentioned that I could find. They are flying outside of manual control in the NAS. Just curious.

As user of a helicopter very similar to the Vapor, I can assure you that this helicopter is significantly more versatile than any quad/multi-rotor on the market (that I know of). The stability is outstanding and it’s capable of carrying a sizable payload for relatively lengthy flights.

Traditional helicopters are far for versatile than mulit rotors. More lift, ability to auto rotate upon power loss, can be liquid fuel powered (engine driven), flight energy requirement drops with forward flight. With stability computers the helicopters are just as easy to fly as anything else these days.

I can, conventional heli platforms fly for longer lifting more. Multis are cool but need a major leap in battery technology to be really useful. The main advantage of a quad is that they are very easy to fly.

Can you imagine someone actually flying that when there are multi-rotors? Those giant blades are like a lawnmower with none of the safety features.
