This paper presents the design and control strategy for MetaMorpher, a metamorphic Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), capable of both spinning-wing hover and fixed flying-wing cruise flight. Since control of the cruise configuration is comparatively well established in the literature, this paper focuses on control of the MetaMorpher in hover mode, building on the flight dynamics model and conceptual design validated in previous work. The control algorithm is implemented using one of two phase-synchronized strategies: motor propulsion, which pulses motor thrust in synchrony with the vehicle's rotation, or flap propulsion, a novel strategy that pulses the deflection of the wing-mounted elevons. We evaluate both strategies in simulation through different flight experiments. Simulation results confirm the mathematical model and show stable reference tracking, demonstrating flap propulsion as a lightweight, decoupled alternative for hover control. Experimental testing validated the vertical-dynamics propulsion model against the physical prototype, demonstrating very good steady-state agreement across different configurations.
