At a computer fair a couple of weeks ago, I spotted this flying saucer
thingy. About 200mm in diameter, with a blade in the centre and a
counter-rotating shell, which also provides lift. Very simple and very
impressive. All remote controlled, with a rechargeable battery in the
saucer. Some nice LEDs around the perimeter dress it up kinda nicely. All
for 40 Bucks.
The motor is amazingly tiny and very powerful. Probably worth the $40.00 on
it's own.
I bought one. So did my mate Doug. Mine had a small problem with the remote
control, but it was easy to rectify.
Anyway, Doug dropped 'round yesterday with another one (different colour and
a different charger). His girlfriend picked it up in China for 9 Bucks.
Watch out for these things. Well worth a look. Maybe you can bargain them
down a little, given they only cost AUS$9.00 in China.
