By the way, what are the dimensions of this thing? I mean, wingspan, length and such.

Sure enough, one hell of a cool project! Way to go!! Very nice guys!

Will be even more awesome to see it 3D'ing on the deck. Heck, just hovering / TR'ing on the deck will already be cool!

Definitely looking forward to the videos!

That's cool that one can adjust the pitch manually. Use a pitch gauge, and go.
