This would be a lot cheaper to build.

Paul,

Regarding the above design, what I have read in researching my project
(AlienAir-1),
during rotation of the prop or props a counter rotation mechanism
is needed to stabilize the fuselage such as a fan on the tail.
The DOAK, VTOL from the 50's, had a jet exhaust nozzle in the tail that
controlled
pitch during hover but there was still a tendency of the fuselage to
tilt up during transition
from hover to forward flight.

Yes I realized that but the next design overcomes that. Keep reading.

The third version will be a canard version
for more stability on the ground. I am still working on the 3D.
