I made the required <2 minutes video. In the video I shortly go over the concept on paper, after that I explained the tilt mechanism a bit and showed you the overall UAV.

As you can see the plane itself has also made a leap in progress, the both rudders have been attached, all steering surfaces have been cut and most servo's have been installed. Primary thing left to do is make the central fuselage.

The UAV is going to stay connected to my laptop or ARM dev board via a serial telemetry system, so the connected requirement has been met and I'll know what it's doing, and where it's doing it. For the software I'm going to modify the Multiwii VTOL software made by a few good folks from the RCgroups forum. I'm going to push pirateNG onto a home built Multiwii mega, and when it want's to kick into landing mode, I'll switch to vertical mode with a fixed decent rate. How it does this is the following: when the pirateNG goes to landing mode, I'll have it set a port high that activates a second, normal Multiwii that overrides the pirateNG's controls.
