Take a scale model P51 add a camera a video downlink anf fly FPV. Add a multi axis gyro board and GPS and fly autonomously. Those that single out multi rotors just show there ignorance of what the issue actually is.
I stand clarified, Brad.
Nonetheless, all the venom being spit at quads and other multirotors for ruining the hobby, is condemnation of model airplanes generally in the here and now. For those that want the drones tightly regulated, I'm just saying "be careful what you wish for" because what restrictions will apply to them will apply equally to us GOB the-way-it-was modelers henceforth. Wait, wait.........I think that's what you just said.
