  Wow, there were a bunch of very interesting designs, Probably telling the winner was a very tradition design, but I love seeing wild stuff being tried. The kite copter was my favorite, but the large rotor powered by small tip rotors was a close second.

        Interesting. What’s the kite supposed to do?

          My guess is act as a wing in a forward flight mode, Sort of like a hang glider.
