Discover the World of Science – Remote Controlled Flying Saucer

“December can be a frustrating month for those who want to proclaim the joy of science along with the joy of the season. So once again, Discover’s editors have sorted through the cluttered holiday marketplace and picked out their favorite…”

“The RC flying saucer is a two-foot-wide silver Mylar balloon that must be filled with helium. A dual-fan propulsion unit and ballast putty attach to the balloon’s underside. Using the remote control, you can make the saucer turn, go forward, and ascend and descend (a breeze could quickly whisk it away, so this toy must stay indoors). The switches are touchy – anything more than a slight burst of fan power will oversteer the balloon. Piloting the saucer quickly demonstrates Newton’s laws of motion and the fundamentals of buoyancy.”

Flying Magazine’s Holiday Gift Ideas

“Here’s a toy for the armchair flier. The Indoor Remote Controlled Flying Saucer. It’s a helium-filled, 36-inch metalized nylon balloon propelled by two independently radio-controlled micro-motors. The motors are operated with a two-stick radio-controlled transmitter that allows independent control of the speed and directions of the propeller thrust so the saucer can made to float, hover, turn, climb and dive from room to room. The transmitter with a range of 200 feet requires a 9 V battery; the saucers receiver uses a 3 V lithium camera battery and the saucer itself requires a fill of helium (available anywhere balloons are sold) that should last two to three weeks. The Flying Saucer is priced at $87 plus shipping and handling.
