Now there is a Delta worth adding to the collection. Its a shame they didnt give it 360 degree vectoring though?

AWSOME !!

gotta love that thrust vectoring !!

I wonder how it would go in the pitch axis as well ???

RE: My wife will kill me... - kizza42 - 28-08-2011

It would be awesome and I would have preferred pitch vectoring, It would probably be easier to setup from scratch than modify this to do it though.

I don't think it would be hard to do at all. perhaps you just need a motor mount attached to a ball joint or a decent duty rod end like this one

Then two reasonablly powerfull metal gear servos one to move it in pitch and the other for yaw.

Perhaps you might even get it to fly 3d
