There are model helicopters, and then there are military unmanned aerial vehicles. The Draganflyer X6 is the first hovering craft that fits right in between. This small helicopter, the first to use six horizontal blades for a stable hover and speedy turns, is designed to supply aerial video to everyone from police to hobbyists. The pilot guides it by handheld controller while wearing video glasses that allow him to see what the chopper sees through a camera attached to a vibration-free mount on the vehicle’s belly. The X6 carries 11 onboard sensors—gyroscopes, accelerometers, magnetometers, GPS and a barometric-pressure sensor—and flies for up to 25 minutes. $15,000; draganfly.com
Since you asked ;D

It has discombobulators and whatthehellalators??? You seem to know a lot about that thingy with them there wirly blades ;D You sure you dont work for the government??? ;D
That thing looks pretty cool, I think $15000 is a little too much for me. Couldn't put that one down to gas or groceries on the CC bill when the wife asks...

lol ;D ;D
My reply was cut and paste. I posted about this machine a long time ago on another forum. I think it was 19 that turned me on to it. There is a video on youtube of a guy trying to crash it and it just won't. Cool machine ;D

ern, I think you turned me on to it first. I just pointed out how to find the price. That thing is so slick. Still have it on my Father's day list. Now I'll find out how deep the love really goes. ;D
Happy landings
