I'm in the process of building another VTOL, but this time it's going to be a scale V22 Osprey with swashplateless helicopter rotor heads (one of these on each wingtip https://youtu.be/d80oXSCcHTk). I believe it's the first time a swashplateless rotor head had been built with 3 blades and it works surprisingly well. Only issue is currently the frame/wing spar has a resonant frequency which is very similar to the rotor head RPM, so I've had to add some strengthening spars. I've ordered a larger diameter spar to hopefully reduce the flex and then it'll be time to build a scale fuselage around it!
