Who's tinkering with vtol

Interested to know if anyone here is tinkering with 1 or 2 seat VTOL-PAV.

Surely with our aussie 'can do' attitude there must be ideas floating around that collectively would get us up on the world leader platform.

The American's have been trying for decades without much success; so if anyone is interested, lets get something started.

Re: Who's tinkering with vtol

If my info is right one guy is getting close to test flying one, and it should work cause he has got all the right stuff from what i figure.
He he he he and dont even bother asking who, cause he dont want to be annoyed, more than what he already is people dropping in all the time looking over stuff.

Carter Copter, Gyrhino and the latest Monarch modified by Jay Carter which leaps 30 40 feet vertically are examples.

Thanks Mitch.

Not really what I was after.

I thought there would be a few people here in Aus that would be looking into VTOL as Bones has indicated there is one, but from his reply we will have to wait and see.
