This seems like a really cool idea. What I can't figure out is the bootstrap process. How do you launch/start the wings rotating?

There's an image. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5901f9f12994ca40051ae...

Basically, the whole thing takes off like a helicopter, before turning the wings on their sides.
