I Don't hate multi rotors like some do but helicopters are not multi rotors! don't care what you think apples or no apples We don't see a helicopter and say looks it's a multi rotor. Nope don't think so it's still called a helicopter at the end of the day.
Well, lets split hairs a bit and agree that a heli has absolutely more than one rotor, and both control the aircraft.
But...I saw this post after hitting save on my other one. Thanks for answering the question, I really do appreciate it. Again, I don't fly helis or MR/Drones, so I can honestly say I have no bias for or against them.
I did get some pics that might be helpful to others in answering the question (or not
. But here are some of the absolutely amazing aircraft this guy has built using multiple rotors. They are little works of art, technologically creative, and just pretty damn cool. I cannot fathom for a second why anyone, even die hard "traditional " modelers would ever consider keeping this guy or his aircraft out of the AMA. For the record...he flies fixed wing too.
I thought the last one was appropriate given the day!
