Our Vimeo account popped out this nugget.

Apparently he made his videos using that other fine Jack Crossfire product, Cinelerra. He got an army contract to work on some mono tilt rotor idea.

The big question is why go through the trouble of a counter rotating head if U have aelerons in the prop wash? Why bother with a tilting mechanism instead of an inline rotor that transitions? If U have free money, why bother using Cinelerra?

An inverted V-bat design could do the job. It would need some landing gear.

He's got more goodies on www.baldwintechnology.com, some videos of real world testing of the largest RC counter rotators we've seen.
