Okay.... let's be honest: This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen :D The quad is so amazing. It hovers and you turn your stick forward and suddenly it just fires right away. Really love the concept and the realization. Keep it up!
Love it! I love seeing these unique and inspiring crafts. Stuff like this keeps the hobby moving and exciting. 3D quads, tilt rotors, I've seen a pentacopter with a 5th motor and prop for forward thrust... What's next!?
That looks like it would be a very good camera platform for the other plane reviews flite test does. Fast enough to keep up with EDF, nimble enough to keep up with 3D models and stable enough to get good pictures of straight and level stuff like trainers.
thats awesome guys anything that involves a crazy winged servo controlled multirotor frankenstien is cool by me. keep flying. thanks for all the quad help
That's amazing, there sure are some brilliant minds out there. Oh, btw, on you Mavic pro review.. It convinced me to preorder one, it's my biggest single RC purchase to date. :)
Dear Mr. Aim droix If that wing replaced by shape of wing of bird, and the cabin with the had of the bird and that tail too, every year will be Internation competation Aeromodeling... Bravo...
Good job brother... I would like to fly one of these... I have always thought that the tilt motors would be the way to go but I knew there would be a ton of r&d to get it right.
This is great - what kind of flight time do you get with it, with and without the wing? :) (I'd guess you might get a bigger battery on there with it...)
Sweet product, but those motors sound like they are struggling. With a little bit of pid work. It would be sweet. Also, you are prime to respond to all of these comments, what a great business strategy. I hope to see you in the big picture sometime.
The motor sound of the VTOL are from the PIDs being on the high side. P was a bit high. Like you are saying,with some more tuning time, I should be able to get it to fly better. Responding to comments wasn't actually thought as an strategy, I just started to read the comment and respond to the one that I had something to say. LOL it's really cool to do it. Thanks for those good wishes.
Just saw video. Very cool and inovative. Don't know if you have considered adding 1 pusher motor. Shut down 4 quad motors while in cruise flight. Save battery life and extend flying range/time Great for FPV. Keep up the good work.
The speed is riduclous on take off. Bit its hard to say.I just think its a whole new ball game. He should do a showdown, But it doesnt have an acro version yet.
that dudes fucking genius. I dont knoa how the military hasn't made manned quadcopter or even large unmanned. the maneuverability in them in general would give you so much of an advantage.
The first think that I imagined was something like the Avatar dropships. Something like a plane but with propellers embebed into the wings that can turn 90º and face forward, or stay pointed upwards,
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AN IDEA FOR YOU..... YOU SHOULD TRY A VARIABLE PITCH PROP. YOU CAN LITERALLY STOP IN MID AIR AND EVEN GO BACKWARD AND HOVER INVERTED. KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing! I want to see it destroy the competition in a race! Also, I want to know the flight time of the hybrid in hover vs. forward flight (using lift from the wing)
I've got a tilt rotor VTOL design I sketched out a few years back that I've been wanting to build a prototype of, but I haven't had the funds. I also haven't taken the time to fully flesh out the details and blueprints with a CAD program, I should probably get on that.
This is awesome!!! When can we expect to find this in FightTest Stores? and a build video!! man, good video. Thank you once again for making such an enjoyable experience
Talk about a perpetual race kwad race car! I'd love to see rotor riot also get their hands on this. Y'all think Michael would like to make that happen?
If I'm being stupid, please be gentle.I know absolutely nothing about drones or airplanes, but this seems to me a much better design to scale up to a personal aircar.

I need this in my life. The ultimate FPV platform. set this up for long range and explore everything!
This is the first quad I've ever cared about. This is cool, definitely would look into buying this.
I'm amazed that Alex never got a chance to fly it he after all is the one who fly's mini quads, loved to have heard his take on it.
ASTONISHING - what an imaginative and thoroughly weird (in a good way) design!
Okay.... let's be honest: This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen :D The quad is so amazing. It hovers and you turn your stick forward and suddenly it just fires right away.
Really love the concept and the realization. Keep it up!
That thing is amazing. What great work put into it. I could see that thing having a clear advantage in drone racing. Well done for sure.
Ian Thomas thank You
I could be wrong but this looks VERY scalable. Building an ultralight like this would be a great next step =)
Love this, AimDroix is creating a whole new generation of both VTOLs and TiltRotors.. Thanks for sharing...
That's probably the coolest RC aircraft I've ever seen. XD
That's the same thing that I thought when we I first saw it flying after putting the last screw on. I couldn't believe it.
that thing left "Back to the future flames" in the air,, sounds awesome also!
dude this is awesome! the best tilt rotor quad and vtol tech BY FAR! That dude is a genius.
Thanks, Brandon. We are not genius but we work none stop until the idea works out. Like said in the video, 2 years of work.
Add this to you're store Flite Test!!!!! Like if you agree
Ok :) Maybe a build video too?
would you be a mentor or me, I am doing a junior project. We are building a plane with specific specks and try to get the greatest endurence.
PLEASE
I have alwasys been curious... you guys should start something in which you make ARTF and just make them a little bit more expensive xD
FliteTest Yes Please
dude that thing is awesomely fast yet very controllable :-)
that guy has a bright future! keep in touch with him so we get to see!
Love it! I love seeing these unique and inspiring crafts. Stuff like this keeps the hobby moving and exciting. 3D quads, tilt rotors, I've seen a pentacopter with a 5th motor and prop for forward thrust... What's next!?

More of this please. Really amazing stuff, great engineering.
One of the coolest things made here
those are big words my friend. :) thanks!
Very cool design. I always thought this would be the next big concept with drones.
AimDroix,
That is simply brilliant! Maybe DARPA should learn from you! Congratulations on a brilliant concept!
Ron
One of your best episodes!
thats awesome guys anything that involves a crazy winged servo controlled multirotor frankenstien is cool by me. keep flying. thanks for all the quad help
This is an awesome build. Keep up the good work, and keep working with other people.
this is really a great leap forward in aviation innovation
Love the hybrid. Video from the "chase plane" was pretty cool too, well done.
Simply genius work from AimDroix!
Great video on a cool product. Happy to see Mike doing good. Cool product.
That's amazing, there sure are some brilliant minds out there.
Oh, btw, on you Mavic pro review.. It convinced me to preorder one, it's my biggest single RC purchase to date. :)
they brought back the good music!!!
You guys need to add this to the store!!!! It's soooooo cool
AAAmazing, best, coolest quad I have seen.
Dear Mr. Aim droix
If that wing replaced by shape of wing of bird, and the cabin with the had of the bird and that tail too, every year will be Internation competation Aeromodeling...
Bravo...
This is pretty amazing guys! Thanks for sharing this :)
Funny how something can seem so logical only after some brilliant mind dreams it up and shows us that very logic we had not imagined. Impressive!
This is the result of a lot of frustration, crashes, sleepless nights, and all of the founders personal savings. It was not easy but totally worth it.
Good job brother... I would like to fly one of these... I have always thought that the tilt motors would be the way to go but I knew there would be a ton of r&d to get it right.
This is great - what kind of flight time do you get with it, with and without the wing? :) (I'd guess you might get a bigger battery on there with it...)
Man that is such a cool idea! I hope this turns into something I can buy for myself!

Very cool little gadget! They should have a feature that shuts down the rear props and rotates them into a neutral position for forward flight.
Just saw video. Very cool and inovative. Don't know if you have considered adding 1 pusher motor. Shut down 4 quad motors while in cruise flight. Save battery life and extend flying range/time Great for FPV. Keep up the good work.
This is a new class of quadcopters, the ones we use now could not compete. Theres no question about it, You should do a showdown.
at least for racing
Why do you think they couldn't compete?
The speed is riduclous on take off. Bit its hard to say.I just think its a whole new ball game. He should do a showdown, But it doesnt have an acro version yet.
Tilting rotors won't be faster than a normal quad. The rear rotors end up with dirty air from the front ones. It is also heavier due to the servos.
yeah true
Wow ! great quad, fantastic design.
the camera man flying the quad in the back was insane
That's Alex (usually) :)
what quad were they flying?
Alex Healy FT 210 it's in the Flite test store
Some nutters flying there and wicked gimbal control too.
Sweet, screams like banshee, love it! Thanks for posting.
This thing has insane maneuvers
This is awesome, love the design and functionality
josh hearing you guanine laugh was awesome. you so need one of these. Someday i would like to try one. looks so fun.
PoorBoy Garage and vlog hearing it live was more than awesome. I even had to ask him if he was acting or if it was for real. lol
You guys are rocket scientists
that dudes fucking genius. I dont knoa how the military hasn't made manned quadcopter or even large unmanned. the maneuverability in them in general would give you so much of an advantage.
What an amazing little aircraft.
Holy cow that´s a fast quad!
lol the cruise throttle, you weren't kidding.
This thing is beautiful.
Phenomenal work, and great innovation on both !
Omg that is so freaky fast and cool, I want one now
Very impressive work! I figured Alex would have been all over this lol.
Great videos guys!
That things a freak of nature
I wanna see this upscaled to a full size aircraft. It's also amazing as it is, great work!
That's the goal. :)
AIMDROIX ,LLC I wish you all the best at your efforts
I think this every time I see a unique design in a model!
The first think that I imagined was something like the Avatar dropships.
Something like a plane but with propellers embebed into the wings that can turn 90º and face forward, or stay pointed upwards,
A very clever piece of equipment. Great work guys.
Thanks
that thing is awesome man holy crap.
6:53 the sound it makes instantly reminded me of R2D2 screaming after being launched out of the water on Dagobah. XD
this is actually so cool
I know one thing, whoever is flying the chase copter is doing a helluva job filming.
Usually that's Alex :)
Balu it was Alex
Love this config. Great for FPV long flights
Sweet shots from the chase/camra drone...
That is so damn cool! Great job, Michael.
Now make one like that for a person to sit on and fly!! That would be soooo AWESOME!!
wow! love the innovation in this!
Very very cool! Would love the VTOL!
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AN IDEA FOR YOU..... YOU SHOULD TRY A VARIABLE PITCH PROP. YOU CAN LITERALLY STOP IN MID AIR AND EVEN GO BACKWARD AND HOVER INVERTED. KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!
Holy molly, this is a freaking fast bastard!
my mind is blown. i don't know what to say but i want one. 👍👍👍
Holy crap dude that frikin Badass!!! .... I love it!!!
Wow Flite Test, this is so cool!! What an amazing creation and patent that s*** right away!
Bryan from ON, Can
Go Blue Jays!
Awesome quad-copter , excellent
Awesome Quad. I would love to fly one
Amazing! I want to see it destroy the competition in a race!
Also, I want to know the flight time of the hybrid in hover vs. forward flight (using lift from the wing)
I could see the future car being made its all in my head now
that is some amazing tech guys. looking for more ideas on lofting payloads with very long flight times.
I've got a tilt rotor VTOL design I sketched out a few years back that I've been wanting to build a prototype of, but I haven't had the funds. I also haven't taken the time to fully flesh out the details and blueprints with a CAD program, I should probably get on that.
This is awesome!!! When can we expect to find this in FightTest Stores? and a build video!! man, good video. Thank you once again for making such an enjoyable experience
James Que very soon! :)
Love it.. WOW..
and maybe a review on the TBS remote? but give the remote to JScott or Stephan..
What an awesome build !
That looked awesome
NEXT LEVEL ENGINEER!
Thanks! :)
Holy crap just FANTASTIC
blown away
what a beast...nice job.
..like a thousand angry wasps...
That's awesome I would definitely buy one
I'll bet the Marines would be interested in a scaled up people sized fleet of these "speed-balls" that can hover too.
hahahahahaha, thats funny Josh, '"its like flying a phantom on crack"!!!!!!!, what remarkable piece of engineering, well done...
haydos781 thank you. Hard work pays off. I'm so happy about the reaction of everyone.
Wow what a cool product looks so fast
I hope you patented this, the military would love this. I'm sure they'd just build it slightly different though.
flite test need to help fund this!
Awesome work!
that thing is sick!!!
You didn't know about the TBS tango? yeah it's awesome y'all should do an episode on it
Talk about a perpetual race kwad race car! I'd love to see rotor riot also get their hands on this. Y'all think Michael would like to make that happen?
If I'm being stupid, please be gentle.I know absolutely nothing about drones or airplanes, but this seems to me a much better design to scale up to a personal aircar.
I dig. YOu should bring that to market when it is ready.
speech less your gifted enginear keep it up👏👏👏👏
freaking awesome I'm still flying syma x8 but this is what I want!
Very cool. You guys should do a review of the E-Flite Convergence sometime as well.
