Airplanes VS Drones! | FTP 182

I feel that the entire process of an airplane is an art. It takes a lot of thought to get the airfoil, thrust, CG, weight, ect. correct. Then when flying, you must also keep in mind stall speed, handling, and max speed. With a multirotor, you simply have almost no factors, just plug it in and use brute force to move through the air. Don't get me wrong, I know that the circuits and binding are very complex, and I could never do it, but there is simply nothing that has to be factored in other than CG and thrust. I do, however, love both! (Just airplanes more) ;p

I really like watching the airplane arch through the sky. Like a figure skater, the plane traces a specific line. It’s also exciting to see it land, and bounce-free landings are an art. Multi-rotors are valuable for filming and recon, but the multiple axis’s they move on are not poetic the way an airplane’s movement is. They can co-exist, I just prefer to pilot my fixed wing aircraft. My drones just aren’t that exciting.
