are the six blade drone's more stable platform

Oh, no so serious, you can rebuild?Seriously, I have never flown a model for real, except for a hover with the big training legs on it.
Even then, my little Clone 250 size scares the crap out of me.
The little ones are much much harder to fly than the big ones. They have a fast head speed ( because of low weight blades) and can be very twitchy.
Get a Big Nitro heli, they are SOOOO much smoother and confidence inspiring.
A little 250 has to be kept pretty close to keep orientation. Hard to fly 2 mistakes high when they are that small.
no, they can carry more weight though.

OsNever flowwn a big one for real.
I learned nose in with a sr120 in doors and out.
Msrx indoors and out....even in decent wind the msrx did great.
The auto correct in the 45 flybar on the 120 is cool for about a day lol.
Next single rotor I might afford is an sr with collective.
Won't be truly 3d but they should be really cheap by now maybe room to haggle lol
I like taking the big ones up and dropping them straight down balancing to get the blades to stop as they drop.
Recover just in time most tries.
Still never autoed in for a damage free landing but Ican minimize damage some.
The auto gyro ultra light is fun as hell.
I enjoy hovering bi planes an other prop planes too.
Favorite plane is the crop duster.

Yes, a bit in that bigger is more stable. So, 6 arms means more distance between them for bigger props. This seems counter thinking but, when we scale up, a bigger quad is less stable. So, a small six does not make sense to me. I would go with a 6-Y. A Tri with 3 motors pointing down, 3 up. For a 6, it can be much wider than a quad.
And for carrying the weight, try 8. An Octo gives more, larger motors, larger span, more spacing, even bigger props.
And that is more stable because of all the factors. Flight is about all the factors. A wider span gives the Inertial Unit more leverage to keep stability, while the extra motors give the IU more individual lever points to fine tune position.
But, there is nothing like a tri-copter for those swooping around tail-slide camera shots. So, like everything you really need it all.
