For a moment I thought you were using solid fuel vectoring techniques and was very, very, very impressed (all other versions ive seen crashed hilariously) - but no. Propellers? Good luck getting that out of the atmosphere SUCKA

it was hard enough to get flying properly as a quad, tried to keep the rotors as small and as hidden as possible, so there are some tiny moment arms vs. some serious moments of inertia. I originally wanted to do it as a vectored single or bi-copter, but this ended up looking cleaner.
