To let the fly Hexacopter certainly much pleasure.
Such a kit with accessories Hexacopter costs in more than 2 000 €.
Then you must build many hours, adjust and learn to fly.
All this if you can, you have 15-20 minutes of fun until the battery is empty.
After beautiful 20 flights, or expensive 3 Hexacopter-crash you have enough of this hobby.

here we are folks UAV quad copters:

You will need serious wedge, my son is into RC helicopters. Jet versions are circa 3K for the engine.

or you could get one of these, the engines are about 5K each plus the wing, fuelling computers and all that:


http://www.jetman.com/?page_id=1204

Engines come from the German firm JETCAT he is using four modified P200's turning over at 110,000 rpm on 5% jet oil and Jet A like a two stroke. He is Swiss and over 50 years old....

Now we just got to shoehorn a few of those onto the back of an 850 for overtake boost.....

A TV cameraman has lost a professional Oktokopter with good Canon Camera "EOS 5D" the equivalent of 20 000 € during a training flight.
probably the Oktocopter into the Elbe river is overthrown.
