AtmoPOD

Yo!
Came across this "wierd" plane if we may call it!
Looks more like a heli to me...or...a plane with continuous hovering!

An Electric Rocket, indeed!

In another forum, I posted some photos and volts and and amps vs time plots from an Atmopod instrumented indoor tethered hover test:

I will get outside again with it of course, but I am enjoying being able to get a little stick time and hover practice indoors regardless of the weather.

Any other Atmopod pilots around here? I'd love to hear your experiences and suggestions. So far it simply works as advertised. Now it's up to me to learn to fly it well.
