Yes, but six is more. You can't argue with that logic.

That is awesome.

Looks so stable when it's hovering.

How many "Just spotted a UFO somewhere over Germany!" threads do we expect?

Jesus that's faster than I was expecting.

Aedus · 15 Feb 2010 at 20:43

Haha that IS fast!

I want 1

Antar Bolaeisk · 15 Feb 2010 at 20:53

Wow, that's pretty cool.

I know what I want for next Christmas.

Now, let us see the video of a current model "normal" model helicopter.

Wow, you guys weren't lying, that thing shifts!

EDIT - My Aeronautical engineer house mate says it's very impressive and it's all probably PID controls... whatever that means

What the hex, that's awesome!

Fourstar · 15 Feb 2010 at 22:03

That hexacopter is probably the most awesome model flying machine I've ever seen!

I love the fact it will auto hover, fly to gps coordinates and sounds like an angry hornet.

All he needs now is a live video feed from the camera.

mrk · 15 Feb 2010 at 22:05

It can also act as the middle man in your relationship, when she goes to make you a goddamn sandwich the hexacopter silently hover beside hover waiting to bring it to you.

Success!

SWEEET!

I KNOW if I had one it would be in a tree written off within 20 seconds of me turning it on for the first time.

WANT.
