You would likely be able to fly any of the more sophisticated flight control quads. Once an episode starts or you start having trouble in general, just let go of the sticks and it will just sit there on station waiting for you. If you really get in trouble you can hit one switch and it will fly home, auto-land within 1.5' of where it left, and shut the motors off. There are people that fly theirs in acrobatic mode that can do things thought impossible a few years ago. If you're good enough to get that crazy and get in trouble where you can't control it, again, flip a switch.

You need something with GPS in it, but once you fly something with that kind of control assist, you'll never go back. And they ain't that expensive anymore.

You need to check out www.horizonhobby.com and look at the 350QX. This is one of those quads that has the smart mode. You can let go of the sticks and the quad will hover in place. (I have the 350QX and it flys as advertised.) Check this link out.

Another quad is the DJI Phantom line at

There are a number of quads there that have the smart mode.

Check out the videos at both sites, you will be pretty amazed how easy it is to learn to fly these units.

I would recommend that you go to

http://www.modelaircraft.org/

and check out them out and become a member of this modeling group. They are the worlds largest model association and they offer a lot of information and help to the modeling world.

Hope this helps...
