You knew that eh Albert? :p
Well I spent the better part of last night thinking about it.
First, what it will cost and where will I find a machine shop to do the pieces.
There are two ways of doing this.
With the machining parts It will need a tilting mechanism for roll, nick and yaw.
The other way it requires a controller to do that plus the variable pitch props.
AXI makes the EVP motors but they are pricy around 45 GBP.

Hobby king also makes the variable pitch motors around $29.00

Now with the machining setup all I need is standard motors and some servos.
I have to dig in to it some more.
here's what I mean.
