The hexacopter comes from a company called DJI. It’s a kit, which includes the frame, motors, electronic speed controls for the motors (ESCs), and the “brains” of the hexacopter which is a “flight controller” module containing a computer attached to sensors such as accelerometers, altimeter, etc. The hexacopter has no moving parts except the motors with props attached directly to the shaft. (Unlike RC helicopters which have TONS of complex mechanical moving parts). All of the flight control of the hexacopter is done by changing and controlling the speeds of the six motors.
To fly, you also need a good-quality RC radio controller and a receiver (which are not included in the kit) and Lithium Polymer batteries along with a good charger for them.
The total cost starting from scratch is probably $1500 or so? $600-ish for the hexacopter kit, and a bunch more for radios, batteries, chargers…
If you don’t already fly RC – I’d recommend getting a smaller, safer, cheaper “starter” helicopter like a Blade MCX2 – which you can easily and safely fly indoors and learn the controls and orientations. A hexacopter this size is dangerous and could easily hurt people, plus you don’t want your “learning” crashes to be $500 each… Crashing a small indoor heli ususally costs zero – or most of the parts are under $10 if you happen to break something. It takes many hours of flying to get proficient enough to fly one of these safely and to avoid spending a lot on parts and repairs.
