The Shed #2 Mix Master Mat
Hanging out with Matthew Wellington from New Zealand. I believe he has invented a completely new way of handling the transition from vertical to horizontal flight. The first important consideration is that the platform is a bi copter, just two motors. Mat pivots those motors to horizontal from the hover. When in horizontal flight one motor pushes and one pulls, genius! A little bit like a harrier moving thrust nozzles. The other massive advantage is that the yaw control or rather the action on your thumb stays the same. There is no reversal of controls or stick roles.
I wonder how many times this is going to be re-invented now.
