This would be a lot cheaper to build.
-- ----------------------------------------------

This is even cheaper and easier.
Nothing new here. This was done back in the 60's.
The pilots had problems with landing because they
did not rotate the pilot and he was ahead of the wing
so visibility on landing was poor.
Modern fly by wire will make it easier to rotate
the pilot for helicopter mode.

Tie down might be a problem but if all three
tie downs are used it would be OK in moderate winds.
Strong winds and it would have to go in a high hanger.
