Review of the RC Flying Saucer

Last Christmas while doing some shopping in our local mall, I was amazed when I saw a vendor playing with this small flying disc that lit up the sky with colorful lights. It was like a mini UFO, and I knew the moment I saw it, I had to have it. I didn't care f he told me the disc would cost $100, I was ready to slam down any amount. I had a plan. It was to scare my dad at night outside with it. You see, he has this fear of getting abducted.

I made my way over to the small Chinese man, and asked him how much. He told me $30.00. I was sold.

I got home and waited for dark. My cousin was in on the plan. I was to go outside, turn it on, and let it lift, while she was to run inside in a panic, and pretend that she is afraid of this flying disc outside. She needed good acting skills to get them convinced.

Outside I got the disc in the air with the push of a button. As soon as my family ran out, I watched as my mom ran back inside, and my brave brother who planned on catching the UFO to become rich was the one who caught me. However for that slight moment both my mom and brother were 100% convinced this small lighted disc was in fact a UFO. Batteries not included man! HAHA!

My dad, who stood in bed due to laziness missed the show. Oh well. The gig was up, but it was well worth the fright my mom got, and the excitement my brother got thinking he'd be the first man on earth to catch himself a mini UFO. Hehe!

Anyways, I played with the disc for about 15 minutes, and finally it duded it and needed to be re-charged. The disc came with a small re-charging station, which the box called a docking station. It took about 5 minutes to get a full charge, and I was back to playing around with it some more.

What sucked about it was how I had no steering control over it. The UFO flying disc only comes with a remote with one activation button. This button is pushed to go higher, and released to come back down. However if the flying saucer is up in the air too high, and the wind blows, it could easily end up in your neighbors pool.
