Hi Everyone,
I'm new to EAA so apologies in advance for any newbie mistakes.
About me: I have worked in the drone space for some time and developed a deep appreciation for trained pilots. I've traveled with pilot friends in both helicopters and planes too - I'm getting interested in getting a license but I haven't embarked on that path quite yet.
Anyway, I'm curious to know if anyone here has seen any kit builds for a large multi-rotor aircraft for one pilot? Also curious if any of these incorporate some level of autopilot/autonomy so they are easier to pilot than a "traditional" single rotor helicopter.
I know of a lot of the companies trying to build one of these (volocopter, ehang, etc) and other more "traditional" helis and autogyros (mosquito) but I am curious if there are any kits out there.
Let me know! By the way, if there is anyone else interested in this idea, let's chat!
