I've not played since 0.24, How would i build a VTOL drone?

[kodemunkey]

I'd like to build something similar to the V-22 Osprey or a Quadcopter drone.

Props are not in the stock game. You'd probably need a mod that includes them - I think Firespitter is the one you need but don't quote me on that. You can build a stock VTOL, though; DocMoriarty's KSP Space Plane Construction and Operation Guide has instructions on how to build and fly them. The principles haven't changed that much at all since 0.24, though if you're using FAR you want to be careful to make your plane actually look as aerodynamic as possible.

Yes, Firespitter or KAX should do the trick. KAX visual style probably better fits a helicopter drone. That's opinion, either will work. Firespitter does have rotating "Osprey-style" engines though.

Kerbal Aircraft Expansion. It's another prop plane mod like Firespitter (in fact it uses the Firespitter plugin) but it's visual design looks more like commercial aircraft as opposed to Firespitter's WWI & WWII era visual styles.
