So, after a multitude of design considerations, I got to this. Big shrouded 21 inch props, a bit of a blended wing adjunct and lose the bike. Going to be able to test autonomously with short hops. Going to sandbag my payload. So gained on safety for testing. Will prob be able to go UAV as the vehicle will have the software for it. Still believe I can push a 200lbs TOW, dry weigh of vehicle will be 55lbs to conform with current regs in that space.

Anyhow, this is all wood. I was looking at it last night and realized this is the most complex thing I have ever created. Bit of an oops there. Brings me to the old phrase,,,We do this not because it's easy, but because we didn't realize it would be this hard.

Happy sunday all.
