As a fixed-wing guy who has just enough helicopter time to hover light copters with relative confidence, I have always had a special respect for rotary-wing flight test. There are so many dark corners of the flight envelope in which nothing better go wrong or you really have no way to recover without bending some metal. Looks like Trixy has been fairly prolific at creating new rotary vehicles recently.
