Just curious, and it's not like I plan on doing it, but has anybody ever built a homebuilt VTOL like a tilt rotor or similar? I know it would be very hard but surely it isn't impossible, and the goal seems tempting enough for someone to do it just to prove they could.

Governments have funded VTOL projects for over fifty years, has none of that research been applied by some insatiable tinkerer?
