2-Motor Tilt-wing Possible?

ArduPlane VTOL Plane

I’m working on a design for a tilt-wing aircraft. I’m trying to minimize weight and drag associated with the VTOL hardware. Is it possible to configure a 2-motor tilt-wing?

I know I could do a 3-motor tilt wing but the third motor add weight/drag depending on setup. A bicopter would be possible but, again it adds the weight of a second tilt servo.

I was thinking of 2 motors that tilt with the wing and then control yaw through the ailerons while in vertical flight.

Thoughts?

No supported by the current code. Theoretically possible I guess, such vehicles always have a hard time with pitch control.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will re-evaluate my design and compare the the tradeoffs between a bicopter design and some type of tail motor.
