INCREDIBLE stable and well maneuvered by the guy!

Some pretty precise moves and sharp direction changes! SUPERB!

Absolutely inspiring and awe producing! It's control, payload and duration are spectacular in the extreme. This takes the lead over any non-military UAV I've seen so far.

This is one of those model RC's that (once you look at it) you absolutely have to have it! I place this a step above those flying hydro boats! I don't know the actual name of them but they had a video on youtube somewhere. Also those aren't cheap. But then again I doubt this one is either. The stability and gps features are very sweet. Great for just hovering there without having to correct it from drifting or a breeze. I'm still giggling about the coke bottle from the hexkopter's camera! XD If it can carry that it could probably carry all sorts of neat extras like another bot! Now we just need it to be able to hover for hours and fly silently muahaha!

Since robots will one day populate every aspect of your life, its a good idea to make friends with all of them. Otherwise your shower bot might decide to play around with the water temperature while you are showering...

Anyway, multi-rotor devices are all over the place, both remote controlled and flying with autopilots. To see some of this stuff you should drop by DIY Drones (http://www.diydrones.com) and look at the ArduCopter and the other stuff on the site. It will give you a quick entry into the wide field of small UAVs, both airplane and helicopter.

Looks like the spammers have pretty much taken over the website.
