Please prove me wrong
or put another way...
go grab a new "pilot"
hand him a MR (headless, self stabilizing, no GPS or FPV)
ask him to take off, fly one circuit and then land
now hand him a fixed wing airplane (EDF, prop, turbine) and ask to do the same (take off, fly one circuit and land)
99% of the time I know which craft ends up in pieces
(hint: it's the one with wings)
i spent the first part of my career designing inertial sensors and systems so I know a bit about electronic systems, but welcome the discussion
