A VTOL rotor assembly for a compound VTOL aircraft, the VTOL rotor assembly having a rotor sleeve, a pair of rotor blades which are extendable from the rotor sleeve for vertical take off and landing and retractable to the rotor sleeve as forward air speed exceeds the stall speed for the compound VTOL aircraft, and a rotor hub for connecting the rotor sleeve to a rotor power assembly. Rotor blade motivators controlled by a rotor blade controller determine the pitch of the respective rotor blades through interaction of the pilot of the VTOL aircraft with the rotor blade controller.
