Simple... 4 fans instead of two for stability.

This is a 1/3 scale for testing

The flight controller is funding development through kickstarter.

Now for some calculations about power, load, lift, and size of motors. Gas, not electric.

 

edit: And one more... the design allows it to be folded smaller for storage.

Very cool!

There are some small 20+hp twin cylinder RC engines that are light weight and run on unleaded.

Four of those would be 80hp output. And they turn a 30 or 32 inch prop @7500rpm. About right for scaling up.

Unfortunately they cost about $1200.00 each... argh

Cool idea, now if they could just get it to corner like one of these...
