The HexaKopter

Been watching some of his other videos.

The copter has a realtime data link to his laptop. He can view stats, its location overlayed on a map and set set waypoints for it to navigate too.

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.

Or you'd see how far away it can go before you lose signal and it floats off in the wind :p
 
So if that many rotors has such an amazing effect, why hasn't it been done before? It's like a god-damn bullet!

Because it weighs next to nothing that's why it's so amazing. Military/Emergency services units need copters that are heavy duty and also need to carry heavy equipment - the fire services I wrote and installed command software for for example use infrared cameras on their remote control choppers, those things weigh a crap load but the copters themselves are modified versions of off the shelf products.
