Rather than trying to swap out definitions, let's compare apples to apples. Multi-rotor. More than one. You can count right? One rotor on top, one rotor at the rear. If that isn't a multi rotor aircraft, also known as a heli, I don't know what is. Those here calling for the banning of multi-rotors have been pretty clear, they are talking about multi rotors...I haven't seen the term quad used other than by you. I know when people throw out stereotypes and generalizations they gloss over things like words, and what they mean.

As for your other definition, wrong again.




As a heli pilot I would presume you of all people would be at least a tad more open to new technology. Perhaps you weren't around when heli's were the "drones" of the day.

So I'll as you, perhaps you will step up an answer:

Please see December Model Aviation Magazine, specifically page 41. Please explain why someone as skilled and creative as Otto Dieffenback, who has been in the hobby since the 60's, should be banned from the AMA because his aircraft are powered and controled by more than one rotor.
