    Cute beast.

    Am I allowed to ask some tech questions ?

    For sake of stability, alternatingly the motors turn left/right, is the tilt of the blades on top different ?

    To move forward helicopters, they tilt the set of rotor blades to generate a front advance. However at your hexacopter, arms, rotor motors, blades seem to be fixed. How does one generate then a front advance ? Does one reduce/increase the rpms of specific motors ?

    So 4-/6-copters don't use any type of swash splades ?

    Does it plug right into the APM? Or do you need other components? Looks great!

    Hi Doug, I bought this on :  http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=...

    It is a very nice option to install in your hexa.

    Best Regards.!

    What did you use for the ring of LED lights on your Hexa?
