"I received my saucer on 5/27 and had it filled for US$2.50
about twenty minutes after receiving it. I was flying ten minutes
later! (of course five of those minutes was getting home).
I guess the first surprise was the size! When
filled, the 3 foot envelope has a quite forboding appearance gliding
down the hallway. I couldn't resist taking it down to work with
me at the video store. Our high ceilings and rather large square
footage was perfect!
Customers were enthralled as I zipped it effortlessly
over the racks from section to section. I dangled a mini-poster
for "Mars Attacks" from the control unit which comes out this
summer...a perfect tie-in! My manager fell in love and invited
it back to fly when the movie actually comes out.
Imagine, I'm going to be paid to fly around
and brag. Worth every penny! Thanks! -Matt

How are you? First of all I'd like to say thanks for writing
a magazine that I (and other techno-freaks) have been waiting
for all my life. It's one of the only mags I read from cover to
cover without fail.
Anyway, the reason I'm writing is to let you
know of the fun I'm having with a product I read about in issue
three of T3. It appeared on the top right of page 11 and the item
was a remote-controlled flying saucer. I got in contact with the
suppliers and had one at my door in just seven days. I bought
it for a Christmas present for my dad but at the moment I'm playing
with it whenever he's not here.
It's great for indoor use. Because it is so
light, if I take it outside I fear it will be the first and last
flight it has. However, when this time comes (and trust me, it
will) I'm going to cover it in as many flashing lights as I can
and set it in flight over the busy town of Oxford (where I live)
in the early hours of the evening.
How many UFO scares do you reckon I'll be able
to cause? I'll be famous! I'll be rich! The world will be MINE
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! (Eating beef never did me any harm.) Curtis, via
email.

Hi, Just a quick message to
say thanks for your prompt service in sending me my UFO balloon,
it's BRILLIANT. Once again I thank you for your prompt service.
Kind Regards

How about this for an alternative use - find
draughts around the house? It won't go upstairs very well, because
there is a draught of cold air (very difficult to detect) coming
down all the time. I could try and get it to the warm updraft,
but I think it goes through a gap too small for the envelope.

Once I had the ballast perfect and separated
into a couple dime sized balls, it was on it's way. Nice gentle
cruising around the living room. My wife thinks it's silly, but
I love it!
Probably one of my all time favorite toys. Very
relaxing. Quite a departure from flying my R/C helicopter! But
neat as hell. It just amazes me that I can stick a balloon in
mid-air and have it just hang! Thanks! -Jeff D

I'll be showing this thing to quite a few people
around here, and I expect you'll see some more orders soon. In
fact, I am part owner (1/3) in a local computer retail business
and will most likely keep it over there to play with.
I'm sure some of our customers will be interested.
Once I get it, I'll let you know how it goes. It should hold me
over through the winter when I can't fly my R/C helicopter or
planes. Nothing like a little couch flying! :-) Thanks again,
John O

Thanks for the R/C Flying Saucer which arrived today. We managed
to get it filled for five pounds sterling at a Flower Shop just
down the road.
Joe is very pleased with his Christmas Present
and is having great fun with it: his first flight was down the
stairs!
He was feeling a bit down before it arrived
has he had slipped on the ice on a frozen pond yesterday and had
to have stitches in his eyebrow, so now he has something to take
his mind off feeling fed up! PC Bristol, UK
