Having ordered the parts I re-examine the prospects for my original concept in the form of a flying phone-box, for it remains just that:
Original.
As a captain I've been used to an alternate and a destination and we have the luxury in the coming weeks to review each upon its merits.
The original 'flying phone-box' as seen below was discounted from the GoFly challenge for exceeding the dimensions, which are allowed only 102" in any radius measured from any one point to the farthest distant.
Looking at the outline draft above it appears that this can be mitigated, for using this outline 32" propellers might be separated vertically by up to 52" assuming a planform of 84" square.
(In fact for a child-sized passenger compartment the power-rigs might still be located at top and bottom.)
Nice thing about it though is the fact it runs on sliders, or vertical columns to which each quad can be attached at any level, providing the maximum leeway for flight testing.
They can also be stacked directly one above the other, or else offset as seen previously in the 'wearable' outline.
My rule of thumb however in pursuing any prototype is whether I find the prospect exciting.
And frankly I do ~ so could the phone-box be set to take off after all?
