Nice, it looks like the Albatross, "a huge vessel which has many vertical propellers so as to operate similar to a helicopter" from the Jules Vernes science fiction novel "Robur-the-Conqueror".

"When will man cease to crawl in the depths to live in the azure and quiet of the sky?"

"Engines of suspension and propulsion.- Above the deck rose thirty-seven vertical axes, fifteen along each side, and seven, more elevated, in the centre. The Albatross might be called a clipper with thirty-seven masts."

Think it's one of the engineer who are flying. I think it's open source. Big thing in Germany.

Pinky says,"Way Cool!"
MicroKopter has made many advances in the hobby multirotor German community over the years, including many beautiful frames, kits, and now the hexakopter. For $1500 this looks like a bargan.

Multiply the cost of anything in India by 4 to get American prices. Commodities like Aluminum R more like $20. For any electronics, get the dollar flamethrower & point it at Asia.
