They'd do a lot better than a miniaturized human pilot in each one. Computer controlled adaptive fly by wire systems sample air characteristics magnitudes faster and better than we ever could. The F-22 isn't even naturally stable, without the computer it would be unflyable (you could argue it still is...).

You have just told the whole forum your age.
Only us old folks know what it means.

many fixed wing vehicles are inherently unstable. that is what allows them to fly past the envelope. systems are created to compensate for the lack of reaction by the pilot. just as systems are created for this type of device. which i dunno may be able to compensate.
but at what cost. focus on the task at hand, or focus on stability in a hostile enviro.
but you are comparing a fixed wing vehicle to a rotor vehicle that relies on stability negative of outside factors which are magnified by size/scale, or in this case, lack of it.
size/scale, or lack of it, is the killer for these small machines.

Maybe before the internet. It was a wildly popular internet meme about a decade ago.

Not that old. it's from a 90s video game.
For those of you that don't know... enjoy:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfwqvUPIRkg&feature=related
Now Space Invaders is an old video game.
