Ran into a photo and german video of a VTOL craft variously called Rocketman and Sidewinder at the Sinsheim 2006 Model Fair Indoor Show:

The photo says sidewinder, and the video is : http://airtoimedia.nl/web/upload/JurgenHeilig/Rocketman.wmv

I'm assuming this is a new product. Anyone know anything about it?

It's sure a lot bigger than my Atmopod, and the video looks great!

It's just an experiment from Stefan Strobel. Weight is 150g, powered by a brushless motor and a 3s1p Kokam 350.
