hexa-copter ?

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:
