It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
I'm amazed at the general cynical negativity! Being a designer by trade myself I'm all up for pioneering and pushing the boundaries wherever possible. Surely this is an exciting concept?

I guess you would need some kind of gyroscopic governor to alter blade pitch and yaw but it could all be balanced through a central computer, much in the same way a modern fighter jet flies. Without the onboard stability cpu' they are near impossible to fly.
cynical ???on here sureley not
 
Andrew, with the greatest respect and without knowing anything about your bias other than the posts in this thread (i didnt look at any of your posts in other threads) I think I understand how you percieve this... or at least I can tell you how you are coming accross?

To keep with the engineering analogy, you are a technician. You have the constraints that have been given to you and everything must fit into these constraints and you cannot grasp anything outside these constraints. If you were an engineer you would know that engineering is actually solving problems.... there is no engineering if there is no problem... that is work for technicians....
An engineer is in fact a dreamer, otherwise they could not see outside the box and solve problems that technicians cannot fathom? So there is no harm in that.

But you are correct there are engineer's and engineer's.
I heard a great thing on the radio this morning. A binman came on the radio for a quiz and when the presenter said, so you are a binman, he said 'not really, we are reffered to as "waste relocation engineers"' :)

Either way, the fact that it doesn't work now is just the reason there is an engineer working to make it work.... and not a technician.

I see a lot of validity in this work, and I would not be so quick to dismiss it.... but I suppose everyone can become an armchair internet specialist (dare I say engineer) with a quick google of 2 or 3 websites.... fact is one man did it and the rest of us are talking about it. Negative comments such as your own, will only ever look petty and jealous and nothing more, just the way of the web ;)
