Imgur Album containing the Imgur Album.

This is just a prototype, the 3rd version of a few attempts at a dual-juno powered Tilt-Wing Vtol:

The Album has tons more Photos and more detailed words about how the thing works and some of the Design.
As well as some info on the Hinge system. But here are some shots:

Easy Take-Offs, in either modes. For this Demonstration I went for a Horizontal take-off.

Its  a bit nippy with its reaction wheels, they're there to aid in transformation.

1.5~ish TWR, not optimal but it serves its purpose.

The Antennae act as an axle

The axel is sandwiched between some Thermometers on top and bottom

The Fuel tanks are offset apart enough to fit the antenna in between them.

Lemmy know what you think :)

@Majorjim! Correct, it uses the same system as the Wasp Mk1 where the 2 tanks are placed on each other and Gizmo'ed apart.

@Dafni A bit yeah :P though the current gear situation is that those are most likely just place-holders for some retractable gears

@Karol van Kermin Thanks! I didn't intend to make it adorable but when I saw how it looked with a Kerbal on it i just had to add that windscreen :D
