Flying Saucer

Jump Jet just got smaller!

Flying Saucer is a new model from Snelflight which offers everyone a chance to try genuine 3-axis control hovering flight in the smallest of spaces.

At just 19cm in diameter it is truly miniature, yet it has four separate motors and the same computer gyro system as Jump Jet.

These give the Saucer fully proportional controls just like a hobby grade model helicopter. However Saucer's robust aerodynamically designed foam body gives it "self righting" stability, and protects the spinning propellers from damage.

The controls are quite docile, yet the Saucer can be flown with speed and agility. It is an ideal aircraft for a beginner wishing to learn to fly a model helicopter. Unlike super-stable coaxial helicopters which "hover themselves" but which have limited manoeuvrability and teach very little, Saucer rewards effort and practice with plenty of flying potential.
