Test Flights

Here is a video from a GoPro camera mounted on the Hexacopter, This was a quick test run, reaching a top altitude of about 15 feet. During this round the only damage sustained was bent landing gear. On a test flight the next day, not filmed, we lost 2 counter clock wise blades when making a quick landing to avoid a clothesline.
