Yes those cheap plastic toy self stabilised multicopters are very easy to fly and would be boring to most traditional RC Pilots. I find them boring too.

If you ever have the chance to fly a high performance hobby grade CF multicopter like this I'd be interested in your opinion. These have thrust / weight ratios exceeding 10:1 and roll rates greater than 1000 degrees per second. In full manual mode it's all on the pilot with no cheating self stabilisation.

I like my fixed wing RC aircraft and will always keep flying them but after the reflexes adapted to the manoeuvrability of these acro quads the fixed wings now all feel like they are flying in slow motion.
