> cutting your battery life into 1/4th for a mission critical bullshit you made up these are meant to be cheap and easy to spam. maybe a few quad models can be kept on hand for any needed extra precision, but really i don't think they're that much more precise. to cut your battery life that much seems like more of a detriment than the slight stability advantage is worth. bear in mind we're talking stability not accuracy, i wouldn't think a quad is any more accurate than a double rotor or single rotor with stabilizer. that stabilizing rotor on a helo does a hell of a job, do you see helos flying around all inaccurately? no, and likewise no one can really scale up a quadcopter and make it viable. it's a meme design made for areal photography and it's not going anywhere, it's limited by physics and especially limited by fuel efficiency. 4 fucking rotors all sipping fuel... that's dumb af when the helicopter design already exists and is proven.
