Nice! I saw that when it first came out. It inspired me to think about scratch building one for my winter project.  As with all my other scratch builds, the spec comes at the end of the build. ;D  So far at this stage, it ended up with a length of 42" and a wingspan of 60".

Haha, I think you mean Anything you Candu, Candu Candu better... ;D

Here's a video of the final system and hover check before dressing up the messy cabling inside the fuse. But there is never any time left for dressing up the messy hanger... ;D

Nice, I want one!
Does the rear motor have thrust vectoring for yaw control?

Do mean Candu's, or mine?

If mine, the info is here:

Actually both.  From what I understand three fixed motors can't maintain a stable hover, so with three motors one of them has to be able to tilt sideways.  Unless they use differential forward tilt of the forward motors to achieve that, which would quite impressive.

Yes, on mine, the rear motor tilts left or right to provide the desired yaw movement.
