I’m sure most of us have seen a VTO single rotor UAV before, but this one is so agile, and looks like it would be so much fun to play with. I guess they made them for earthquakes or other natural disasters. I think they are using one of the same 3 axis gyro’s we use on our flybarless heli’s. Pretty cool what you can build with technology that is available at just about any good hobby shop.

Awesome. Great idea especially with the severity of earthquakes and such in Japan.
