Narrative:
On an assigned heading of 220 in a climb to an assigned altitude of 6;500 ft (flight following) while transitioning through miami class-B airspace I noticed a small flying object coming directly at me. We made a small deviation to the right and the object passed at the same altitude in opposing direction; heading northbound towards miami. The object has no lights and was not under control by miami arrivals and appeared to be a small unmanned vehicle. It looked like miniature ultralight with a camera mounted to it. It would have certainly caused significant damage to the engine/airplane.
