Micro R/C 4-Channel Flying Saucer, nearly fancy enough for real aliens

These indoor flying machines are getting more sophisticated every day. If that tiny Tomy QFO we showed you is just not radical enough, take a gander at this Micro R/C 4-Channel Flying Saucer, equipped with a remarkably advanced solid-state accelerometer to keep it flying straight and level.

If that's still not stable enough for all-thumbs pilots, there's even an EZ switch that limits sudden movements, intended to keep this little four-propeller UFO from crashing no matter how dorky you are. This 7-inch flying machine is way cool, and it may even be worth its $100 price.

Great device, Now where do I get the much larger version, like about 12 feet around?

Very cool! Now,I do wonder..............why not build a life-sized version? It would fly,I'm assuming,like a chopper in some respects but,seems like it would be capable of greater flexability.
