Superb DIY RC Helicopter with Six Rotors
We’ve seen an Arduino powered 4-rotor copter, but if that’s not enough you can upgrade to six individual rotors with this hexacopter. As you can see in the video above, this thing can reach some incredible speeds with precision control. The author also includes full build plans. Still not enough? The same author has a video for an 8-rotor helicopter too.
Onboard is a GPS module for stability as well as individual circuitboards for each motor. Definitely an impressive build, check out more aerial posts below:

Really fast. It’s so noisy, louder than my vacuum jet machine … nice work!

WOW!
That’s got huge commercial potential and I can see that being of great use to the Police and rescue services.
