transformers!!!..

No I dont mean the robots that turn into cars either... How about a build chalange where 1 rc model has to perform 2 roles? A multi copter that has wheeled and drives on the ground that can take off when needed? A boat that can extend wings and fly?

Nothing that exsists now for example ... A plane with pontoons for landing on water or quad with some sort of floats... Something more along the limes of having 2 separate forms of propulsion like a boat having a prop in the water and when a button is pushed wings expand and can lift off. Or a quad with wheeles that drives a course and can tuck away and vertically lift?

I have a plane that transforms from a 4 channel to a 3 channel at the touch of a button (deactivate ailerons and move rudder control to the right stick)... Does that count?

This brings me back to school in the 80's, where all the boys were mad on these transforming things... But more than "Transformers", this idea reminds me more of another show/toy of the time called "M.A.S.K" (had to look it up to jog my memory). Personally, the only one I really liked along those lines was was "Pole Position" (I used to think the girl was pretty cool fighting crime in her hovercraft capable red Mustang!!)... Although having 3 vehicles join togeather on the move like in "Technovoyager" (Thunderbirds 2086 outside of Japan) for a challenge would be pretty cool whilst I'm on the lines of old 80's cartoon shows...

P.S. I would apreciate it if people forget I mention "me", "school" and "80's" in the same post

I have a plane that transforms from an airplane to a ball of foam at the touch of the ground . . . I think yours counts too
