I was wondering if this one would count as a whirlybird. ... or as an prop aircraft ??

Cool subject! I was wondering if the kit allows the props to move in either position. Or do you have to pick one and keep it static?

@ Schoof: I'll leave it up to Paul to decide but the V-22 Osprey is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.

@ Russ: I'll show it during the build, but thanks to the plastic polycaps the engines can be changes depening on your needs. However, if you want to have the rotors in the vertical position, you have to use the plastic stand.
