The Flywoo Hexplorer LR is a 4" hexacopter. What's the point? Is it actually better than a 4" lightweight LR quad like the Explorer? Is it better than a powerful 4" acro quad like the CMW Shocker? I think there is actually a place for this aircraft, beyond the sheer novelty of having a 4" hexactoper!

Dave C is the original designer of the Explorer frame and is a pioneer of the micro LR4 category. His YouTube is:    / @davecfpv
