Default RE: Blade mQX Toyish look to Killer UFO look!!!

I have drooled over the other MIA products, and as far as the look of the stock quad goes, definitely transforwannaber. So the new styling is an improvement. Seems to me that it wouldn't be that hard to vacuform a shell that gave modelers a flying semi scale version of something we don't have yet... hmmmm, 4 rotors, no tail boom- why not look into the past failed Lockheed Martin projects for starters, as in Aerocar- the four rotors would fit into a round airframe, and given the lift capabilities, weight and balance issues are easily solved. Lots of other stuff out there too for ideas, movies, tv shows, etc. How does one judge the aesthetics of a model when by the very nature of the word "model" our hobby tends to reflect something already in existence??? I see an untapped market segment here.... try Millennium Falcon, USS Enterprise, lol even those nifty flying saucers from Batteries Not Included.
...,............ just an honest opinion from a long time modeler who thinks the quad rotor stuff could have more appeal.
