Phlying Sphere


I've been doing some research to see if it's possible to make a radio controlled flying ball.
I found some very primitive rough designs for some attempts at making one, and it got my juices flowing.

So I designed this creature last week. My brother Derek and I built it yesterday and did some test-flights. There is still work to be done on it...but the prototype already looks promising!
Check it out!


One flaw with this vehicle... Once it's on the ground... It doesn't take much wind at all for it to blow away.

    This is Theron by the way: You are going to have to build that large enough that we can jump into it and take an adrenaline ride and maybe be mistaken for a UFO...15 minutes of fame here we come, Man. Keep me posted I'm down for the first ride.

    Hey Theron, lets do it, but just a warning... the landings are crazy.
