New STOL Machine

Thins thing gets off the ground like a helicopter, but its cross country chops need some work, Perhaps the engineers will increase its utility in the next design iteration.

They need a swashplate to change non-rotating vertical control input to rotating vertical control input and one of those little RC servo deals fixed below the swashplate. Then they would need more fuel and things would get complicated.
