This is a design I came up with. for a quad copter in a tri copter configuration using edf's. I just had the body 3d printed at school and need to be sure of what I need before I order the parts the edf is the AEO 30mm 10200KV. Any suggestions for a flight controller would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not trying to be a troll here, just an honest observation, I question the effectiveness of using EDFs for this kind of application. On that same note, I'm also really interested to see the prototype tests.

That said, maybe going really small and light might just make edf good idea. hard to break props too. Guess we need to wait and see. At least it is a good experiment. I like that thrust vectoring, should open possibilities to move in all directions without tilting the base, maybe future camera platform idea.
How does that thing yaw without moving sideways?
in real world Harrier uses jet engines to vtol... maybe what we see here might just find it's way to super cool vtol rc-plane!
If those edfs would have 2-axis vectoring it might just do superfast forward movement by pointing all edf backwards and using bodyshell as airfoil :)
Maybe T-style frame with airfoil and rotating 1 axis front edf and rear edf = three edf plane with vtol and hovering capability?
