However, I recall the Hexacopter's name being completely devoid of the word "Dragon". Thus a less awesome experience will ensue. How doth one even compare thine mighty dragon to a mere six-sided shape? Thoust doth NOT! AND THOU SHALT SEE THINE WIND BLOW UPON HIS MAJESTY! MAY HIS DIVINE FIRE SURGE THROUGHOUT THINE DARK SKY AND ENGULF THOSE IN DIRE REQUSITE OF HIS CELESTIAL BEING! HIS SANCTITY SHALT ABSOLVE THOSE OF THINE OWN DAMNATION! What? The Hexacopter is cheaper.

My hobby is remote controlled airplanes and helicopters. I know there are many cheap gyros and other gizmos that can keep small flying things steady. The DraganFlyer no doubt uses many, many expensive doo-dads to keep the camera and itself steady. Now I just need $33,000. I think it should be fine in moderate winds.
