Wow, she's a beaut. Nice video too. Not too many points for originality on the name, though.

I've said it before, anybody who makes something new and actually flies it deserves credit. Will be interesting to see how it performs.

Looks like slope landings may not be its specialty, unless you are nose up/nose down the hill.

Is it FBW or mechanical? From the video it sounds like it is not FBW. Would seem to be crying out for a FBW solution, then again maybe blending collective position vs thrust vs speed vs antitorque is not that hard.
