Simple VTOL test rig — parts on the bench

This is not a finished aircraft. It is the parts for a small VTOL test rig, on the bench, before it is built.

The idea is simple. Four rotors on one shared throttle. Two separate actuators. A 6-channel radio, not a full flight controller. The point is to see if that layout works before anything gets more complicated.

On the bench right now: a wooden frame, a FlySky radio, props, a motor, servos, leads, aluminium tube, and brackets. Some of it will be used. Some of it will be wrong. That is the test.

Next step is to fit the frame and get the rotors turning on the ground. No flight until that is boring and reliable.

Parts and notes from the build will go on VTOL.X.
