Micro 4-Channel R/C Flying Saucer Features Accelerometer For Supreme Control
Posted by Sean Fallon at 10:30 AM on September 27, 2008
Not long after releasing their super-cheap 3-channel Black Stealth chopper, ThinkGeek is delivering a Micro 4-channel flying saucer with a built-in solid state accelerometer for control. Even if you have poor eyesight and fat, clumsy hands you can always switch on the "EZ button" backup that prevents maneuvers that may send the saucer out of control. A 20 minute charge will get you about 5-7 minutes of flight time, so the whole package seems pretty decent for $US100. [ThinkGeek via DVICE]

Hey! I got an email about that this morning!
Staples should sponsor that Easy Button and reduce the price. Either way, pretty cool saucer.

Build it big enough for me to fit inside and we'll talk.

Man what's with that to catch a predator looking tester guy? It's kind of disturbing having to look at him.
