Just search normal toy shop who keeps a few cheap RC. Actually similar to this is available in toy shops and very cheap as dada said may be just 550, but that didnt have the sensor to hold altitude which is the key attraction to this UFO ;D.... Title: Re: Worlds Best Altitude Hold UFO Post by: bokilap on May 04, 2011, 12:15:09 PM One more source...but is this the same?

Title: Re: Worlds Best Altitude Hold UFO Post by: SunLikeStar on May 04, 2011, 12:37:33 PM Whats the difference between this and the one on DX?
Title: Re: Worlds Best Altitude Hold UFO Post by: bokilap on May 04, 2011, 12:42:08 PM I am not sure.
They all look the same But this guy has sold about 16,000 products and has 100% rating on ebay. Looks like a genuine seller to me, frankly speaking havent heard good things about deal extreme. Title: Re: Worlds Best Altitude Hold UFO Post by: SunLikeStar on May 04, 2011, 12:46:26 PM Well i love DX I always have one parcel in transit. Gotta love the Chinese :D
Title: Re: Worlds Best Altitude Hold UFO Post by: bokilap on May 04, 2011, 12:56:12 PM The difference you asked
The one on deal extreame runs the remote/charger on 5 AAs and the one on ebay runs it on 6AAs. The remote/charger looks different. Title: Re: Worlds Best Altitude Hold UFO Post by: allthatido on May 04, 2011, 01:02:40 PM That is such a cool UFO...we could probably make use of the sensor for some diy project.
Title: Re: Worlds Best Altitude Hold UFO Post by: HamAero on May 04, 2011, 01:40:53 PM It says "altitude sensing technology" on the box :-\ AFAIK there is no Altitude sensor sort of thing on it, probably a pair of IR LED & IR Photo Diode. Sanjay Title: Re: Worlds Best Altitude Hold UFO Post by: bokilap on May 04, 2011, 01:46:13 PM Yes it has just IR led and IR photo diode ......altitude sensing technology is just a fancy name given to it. 8-)
Title: Re: Worlds Best Altitude Hold UFO Post by: allthatido on May 04, 2011, 07:30:11 PM Speaking about Deal Extreme i have had very good experience with them till now..not a single lost article as i always use tracking...i ordered a hand crank USB charger and they gave 10 instead for the price of one...lol...their error..my gain :giggle:

Lots of similar stuff! Title: Re: Worlds Best Altitude Hold UFO Post by: foamybuilder on January 04, 2012, 09:11:14 AM Finally got myself this new toy for new year. Fun to play with. Checkout the video.
Incredibly good design. More stable than I expected. Outer body looks like EPO foam Uses a 6x5 thin prop. Outer EPO is shaped as a 6wing prop. Powered by 1s 3.7V lipo. Prop rotates clockwise while the outer body rotates anti clock wise to compensate the torque. It has a IR altitude sensor at the bottom, for altitude hold. Rotating outer body allows to recover from corners. Probably has a stabilization unit as I was very surprised to see it recover when I threw it. Overall a good buy. http://vimeo.com/34515233 Title: Re: Worlds Best Altitude Hold UFO Post by: SunLikeStar on January 04, 2012, 08:18:11 PM Nice review & video! Where did you buy it from?
