i've seen plenty of quad-copters and i guess it just makes sense to keep adding engines but its the first i have seen a hexa-copter with a camera to boot...

I can almost see you Gerry streaking off into the limelight. But wait, there’s more, just hang on to the copter and take off with it :up:

do I trust myself is probably a better question :) I would be doing exactly what this dude did to people at the tough mudder - dive bombing, i could always just stick the D80 on there..
