I think a lot of people here would have fun with this..



Here's a small video I made. This doesn't show it's full cool-factor.

6.3mb MPEG

This thing is so fun to play with. When the weather's too bad to fly the RC's, this is the next best thing.. Except for maybe a small electric heli, but this thing's only $80.00 so, it wins...

Default It is both....

The actual flying disk is wired, as well as the controller for power, but the controller is IFR to the flying disk for control.......

Instrument Flight Rules? Guess I can't fly it since I'm not rated!

To bad it's not remote control. Imagine the excitement you could cause if you had an R/C version of it, and flew it at night outside someone's window. Heh, then maybe add a small speaker that played a sound clip of a humming noise, and periodically said "We're coming for you!" Lol!

With a duralite pack, the power to weight may be enough to warrant a conversion!
