Cyclorotor testing

Here's a recent test of a little cyclorotor that I've been working on for the last 6 months or so. Most of it is 3D printed, and the airfoils are made out of XPS insulation foam in order to keep the weight and centrifugal forces down. It got up to around 200g thrust in this test, and it weighs 130g. The actual thrust should be around 30% higher, as I'm measuring airflow in this test, not actual thrust.

I am just about ready to put two rotors together to make a cyclocopter and try to make it fly, I'm just putting some finishing touches on it.
Specs:

150mm diameter
150mm wingspan
NACA 0020 airfoil with a 50mm chord
2008 1250kv motor
4:1 GT2 belt driven gear ratio
122g current weight
