LOL, good idea, but now you are comparing apples to oranges - these GPS equipped self stabilised machines are not the ones I am talking about.

I am comparing fixed wing flying to flying acro multi copters in manual mode - apples to apples, you do understand the difference right?

The fact that fixed wing aircraft must keep flying forward is what makes them so easy to fly in my opinion - they are aerodynamically directionally stable.

Performing a smooth 360 turn in a fixed wing is a piece of cake - just bank and apply elevator - aerodynamics and directional stability does the rest - the heading changes automatically around the turn - no input is needed from the pilot.

The shape of a fixed wing aircraft also makes it easy to orientate in flight and it flys in the direction it is facing.

An acro multi copter has no airframe aerodynamics and no aerodynamic directional stability - it can fly equally in any direction and therefore requires constant attention from the pilot to maintain orientation.

Completing a coordinated turn in an acro multi requires more skill than in a fixed wing. You bank, apply extra thrust to compensate for the tilted lift vector, adjust pitch to maintain speed then manually yaw at a rate that matches the turn radius otherwise it will get messy within seconds.

There is no aerodynamic directional stability doing the hard work for you.

The same applies to basic aerobatics. My wife can fly loops and rolls in fixed wing RC aircraft after a quick demonstration. She still can't do a loop in a multi copter without crashing as that requires more coordinated inputs.

How long do you think this multi copter would keep flying if you let go of the controls? Lets stick to comparing apples to apples please.
