Eight-rotor helicopter inspired form Avatar(2009)

No SAS or reaction wheels used. Vechicle is well balanced, capable of hovering like quad copter and fly like plane at the same time.
I used 6 KAL-1000 controlles for throttle, collective deploy, pitch, roll, yaw and longitudinal balance.

Max horizontal speed is 52 m/s, climbing rate >10 m/s
Payload up to 10 tons with own weight of 24 tons.
Flight time… a lot.

Flight recommendations:
*use joystick or smooth control(caps lock by default)
*add throttle only as speed rises because COM is in front of Center of Lift. Fans also will turn forward when above 50% of throttle
*use yaw only at low speeds or be ready to compensate roll in opposite direction
*to stabilise craft’s AoA during hover or forward flight use pitch in direction you need and 6th KAL-1000 will slowly change rotors RPM(additionaly)
