the nano uses +cg to slowly fly forward, correct?

why did u use the 2 motor concept for it when your goal was to make is superlight. the micron accomplishes the job with just one motor... i amazed your lightest design is actually more complex...

micron: since it has one motor for vertical, the rear controls rotation, but what about forward/reverse?

micron: what is the funny paddle shaped tail rotor all about?

thanx for all your time in this chat group!
i love my bladerunner!

I dont know if its still a secret, but back when I encounted his little gismos, my theory involved electro magnetic forces to tilt the rotor. Kinda like his pixelito I think.

All in all, awesome technology that still has me baffled.:p

I cant wait to get my hands on a nice BR, to take a close look at this little wonder. But im kinda stuck on finding a good dealer for now..

Both the Micron and the Nano are only 2 ch. vertical and yaw, and they use CG trimmed forward to achieve slow forward flight. On the Micron (6.9g) the yaw is controlled by the vertical tail motor - this does not work too well and I decided to go back to the original one motor for each rotor on the Nano (2.7g). On the Nano I had to build the electronics myself to get it down to about 0.1 gram and then it was kind of "easy" to put in two mixed speed controllers with proper resolution for using two main motors.

Both the Micron and the Nano uses the same rotor system as the Bladerunner.
