@ibetdougiecan3 YOU fucking disrespecting little fucking bag of puss, this man served in the marines and was risking his ass to save ours, do the world a favor and drop dead were u stand.
If this small flying object didn't have a wire and be on remote control, then if I see it, I will thought that this is a real flying sauser with little aliens inside :P
I invented a breakthrough source of energy that contradicts the law of conservation of energy. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena that contradict the law of conservation of energy. I am looking for $6M for a prototype and patents.
how much are they? i have had one before but it was given to me by my parapro at school five years ago and she said it was 99 dollars (back then) but i looked at it now on ebay and it was 30.
so, how much are they?
it flies so delicatley and its the only rc aircraft that has no batteries. i lovved the one i had.
u can call me crazy if u want but thats just more proof UFO tecnogly works phyics proves it every timemaby it was ours to be gin with options keep showing up through out the years....... the shadow.......
why did you write that do you not care if kids look at this im not trying to start any trouble or anything i just dont like when people write comments like that
i bought one that was like this but consisted os a single rotar that span inside the ring and had 2 funky blue leds on the outside creting ring of blue when being flown at night but mine had a recote control and was wireless? and only cost me £5 hovered comfortably at over 70 feet
I built one of these using only two brushless motors, and it was able to lift the motors plus two 2 cell LiPo battery packs. The first attempt I didn't secure the motors well enough and the centrifugal forces ripped one off. The second design worked, but like the Vectron shown here there is no directional control. Only up and down, so it's not much fun once the initial novelty wears off.
looks expensive. well. i have a kite. and with practice, it can accurately be steered with the amazing rope using my hands which are programmed to be very steady. and it can fly sooooo damn high.
SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U AT 9:10 SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU OR TALK TO YOU ONLINE AND SAY I LOVE YOU OR ASK YOU OUT BUT HERE'S THE CATCH Send To 3 vids
Great Job ... I still have mine ... I actually made an extension tether for it to allow more flight freedom. Used it for a trade show booth once ... nice attention grabber with that customizable message. Wish I had a new one too ... especially with that external battery pack adapter ... guess this can be fashioned too. Keep up the great work!
@ibetdougiecan3 Go do society a favor little prick, go die, we will all cheer and party, and the world will become a bether place. Yeah, its true. And you dont even know who Hitler was and what a Pussy is.
@ibetdougiecan3 Where is your respect? Instead of verbally assaulting Dave try giving some criticism instead what was so wrong about the video? Just please think before you post offensive and rude stupid comments on cool videos.
i still have mine in the box working fine, one thing is mine also came with an umbulical cord that allowed you to hook two seven cell ni-cad battery packs togeather and then to the controller so you could take it out side or in a larger indoor area not be limited by power cords. i got mine at wall mart back in 2000 or 2001 for about $75.00. i saw my comment on this had gone away from b-4 so here it is again. GREAT JOB as always.
The Discovery channel store used to sell those years ago. Ever since they stopped I haven't seen them anywhere. If it has no batteries how does it work? Solar?
Their is a power cord from that plugs into a wall socket power adapter. It plugs in to the transmitter, and the wire from the transmitter plugs into the Vectron. Wish I could find a new one too.
Oh, lol, I didn't think about that. I have the original Hirobo X.R.B. Lama helicopter which works the same way. I haven't been able to fly it though because the wires are damaged.
the legs don't move because they are connected to the base were the wire goes in ,and in the begining of the flight, the wire wil twist arround until the tension gets to high ( take a piece of wire and turn it at one end for 100 times or so, you will notice that te wire wants to curle, and when you let loose, it wil twist the other way round) witch makes the wire to twist the other way and vice versa. And when it does that, the legs are spinning too.
I don't know what brand it was but it said vectron on it lol... looked "EXACTLY" like the one you have. But i live in arizona and i don't know if they have it over there but the store is called "HOBBY BENCH". if no luck over there try ebay or something... Hope this helps
At least if flies a long time on the cord,(no batteries to replace even in the TX) and since we are all flying inside these days, it had it's place when they were making them.
Ya i actually got my flying saucer at Dillards. Dont know of any other store that carried the product. Ive been to hobby town here in Dallas and they told me my best bet was finding the gears on another toy haha. But anyway, thanks for the help. Ill keep searching because the thing really was fun to fly. The best part was no batteries!
I was very excited to see this video. I got a vectron a long time ago but the smaller gears are almost all cracked and will not allow the vectron to take off. You said you used a 10 tooth servo gear. I have searched and havent found any gears that match. Can anyone tell me where to get replacements or what kind of gears i need to look for?
I think if you contact hobby people, (they were called Hobby Shack when I first bought this) and tell them you have an original Vectron. They can tell you where to get the gears if any are available. My servo gear was from a Kraft servo no longer made either.
when was the vectron sold? A few years ago I tried out one in a store...looked just like this. BUT it was uncontrollable, the vertical lift was either too low or too high with no inbetween. probably was NOT a vectron, or was crashed alot before...
Well, this is the Original Vectron and it had a computer built in to make it say anything I wanted with only 6 leds. The cheap toys now, never had that capability or flew very well either, considering they had batteries that needed charged. Mine doesn't.
They sell these now.. Bought two for me and my daughter, you can't really tell it where to go, but buy moving it up or down, you can get a feel on where you want it to go.. Had mine on a full charge since on batteries, go about 100 feet or so, people freak when they see it at night with the LED's, but you can't do spelling with these at all, but fin just the same.
They don't sell these now. Airhogs sells a cheap battery version that is just as you describe. Mine was the original Vectron and extremely controllable, as you can see. It also uses no batteries in the Saucer or the Transmitter.
does it actually know where it is or is what is happening when you use the remote, that you are causing the main central control to make one of the three arms holding the propellers to have the propeller spin reverse direction and to raise and lower altitude isn't the remote signaling the control center to slow the fans or to speed them up, lower or raise, respectively? and is there an ac cord connected to your device? also if this entire item had larger props more power lift more weight ?
The reference beam is produced by the transmitter (which has an AC adapter cord plugged into the wall). The props size was chosen to lift this unit and the cord. Bigger props may help, but there is no need, in this case. The props do not need reversed, just sped up and down like a helicopter at just the right points to have control, and as you can see it has great control for being so old of a design.
Not true. There are no batteries in this original as it gets its power through the wire from the Transmitter, which is plugged into the house current.
There is a transformer plugged into the wall. The wire from that plugs into the Transmitter. There is also a wire coming out of the transmitter that goes to the Vectron, Which Supplies power.
Huh? Come on! This thing uses the wire to get its power, since there is no batteries in it at all. It all plugs into the house. It flies a long time and I never have to buy batteries. Your comparison is not valid for this unique machine. And the old video recorders years ago, had wired remotes, I might add.
hello again nightflyyer!!! (the best channel of youtube)
I am bored and I puestoi and to see videos from helicopters RC and I have not taken to see one of yours!
I also have a flying saucer that cost me € 5 (very cheap) and it is rare for me to rroto not, what happens is that it does not work. Not that I understand a lot of Aeronautics and RC but not what is the problem with this flying saucer!
volava also very well inside and outside the home ...
Thanks. The new ones need batteries and use infrared controllers. You can buy them at walmart, etc. They are not as well suited for flying as the original, and can easily get away from you, since the sunlight affects the radio. The original like mine was quite pricey, compared to the Airhogs version, but still spin like crazy to remain aloft.
Mine only goes up as long as the wire reaches. The new ones are unteatherd (needs rechargeable batteries) and will fly away if you let it, then the radio gets interference and it will crash. For that reason you should not fly it higher than the radio can "see" it. 12 foot or so.
The originals are no longer around for many years. They have different versions of Vectrons now from Airhogs, but they are wireless and not at all as controllable as this one. They are free flight and need batteries that have to be charged after every flight. This one uses no batteries anywhere.
IF you actually can get an original like mine, I would buy it from you for sure.
I have one of these myself, it has been in its box stored for some time but watching you fly yours has gotme itchin to get mine back out, they are quite fun. did you ever try the two pack flight mode where you don't need the 110 volt power sorcr?
Well get it out. There were no options for batteries on the original. Only Airhogs has one nowdays. Make a video of the 2 pack flight mode, if you have the original Vectron, as I am not familiar with that, and would love to see it.
mine looks just like yours, it came with a "y" harness that puts two battery packs of 8 cells i belive into series and plugs that into the controller. i have been looking at digital recorders for awhile and havent yet been able to decide what i want, it isnt the cost , it is more of a fetures ect that is holding me back so untill i do.....
Thanks. Well the first 50 videos or so, I used an Aiptek Pocket Cam X. ($29). Then I began using a Sony GC-1. I have a video review on it. The Sony files have to be converted to Avi or WMVs before WMM can edit them so I began using Pinnacle studio software to make the movies.

The props do not need reversed, just sped up and down like a helicopter at just the right points to have control, and as you can see it has great control for being so old of a design.

You cant buy these anymore. I originally got mine from Hobby People.

That's lame on a wire lol. i had a video player with a wire going to the remote controller, does that have the same credibility.
chrisb000 3 years ago
it doesn't need the wire u can simply cut it off and it wil stil fly

true! ;)

Not true. There are no batteries in this original as it gets its power through the wire from the Transmitter, which is plugged into the house current.
NightFlyyer 3 years ago
Not true on this, as the wire is where the motors get power. There are no batteries.
NightFlyyer 3 years ago
ok.thats cool but how does that work?
nfsfanAndrew 3 years ago
There is a transformer plugged into the wall. The wire from that plugs into the Transmitter. There is also a wire coming out of the transmitter that goes to the Vectron, Which Supplies power.

whoops sry i missed part of the vieo. i rewatched it. my bad
nfsfanAndrew 3 years ago
Huh? Come on! This thing uses the wire to get its power, since there is no batteries in it at all. It all plugs into the house. It flies a long time and I never have to buy batteries. Your comparison is not valid for this unique machine. And the old video recorders years ago, had wired remotes, I might add.

hello again nightflyyer!!! (the best channel of youtube)
I am bored and I puestoi and to see videos from helicopters RC and I have not taken to see one of yours!
I also have a flying saucer that cost me € 5 (very cheap) and it is rare for me to rroto not, what happens is that it does not work. Not that I understand a lot of Aeronautics and RC but not what is the problem with this flying saucer!
volava also very well inside and outside the home ...
Greetings!

Thanks. The new ones need batteries and use infrared controllers. You can buy them at walmart, etc. They are not as well suited for flying as the original, and can easily get away from you, since the sunlight affects the radio. The original like mine was quite pricey, compared to the Airhogs version, but still spin like crazy to remain aloft.

I remember seeing one of these at Hobby People. They look very similar but I think tey are the newer versions.

I bought this at Hobby People, when it first came out.

do you know how high it goes?
mercedes300best 3 years ago
Mine only goes up as long as the wire reaches. The new ones are unteatherd (needs rechargeable batteries) and will fly away if you let it, then the radio gets interference and it will crash. For that reason you should not fly it higher than the radio can "see" it. 12 foot or so.

We had these things at Toys R Us not more than a couple months ago. Im not sure if we still do but I dont see why not.

The originals are no longer around for many years. They have different versions of Vectrons now from Airhogs, but they are wireless and not at all as controllable as this one. They are free flight and need batteries that have to be charged after every flight. This one uses no batteries anywhere.
IF you actually can get an original like mine, I would buy it from you for sure.
NightFlyyer 3 years ago
That would probably be what i was thinking of then.
MastaSquidge 3 years ago
can you still buy them
hi9669 3 years ago
No. Wish we could, as I like to have spares of my favorite machines.
NightFlyyer 3 years ago
I have one of these myself, it has been in its box stored for some time but watching you fly yours has gotme itchin to get mine back out, they are quite fun. did you ever try the two pack flight mode where you don't need the 110 volt power sorcr?
THOMIEKA 4 years ago
Well get it out. There were no options for batteries on the original. Only Airhogs has one nowdays. Make a video of the 2 pack flight mode, if you have the original Vectron, as I am not familiar with that, and would love to see it.
NightFlyyer 4 years ago
mine looks just like yours, it came with a "y" harness that puts two battery packs of 8 cells i belive into series and plugs that into the controller. i have been looking at digital recorders for awhile and havent yet been able to decide what i want, it isnt the cost , it is more of a fetures ect that is holding me back so untill i do.....
THOMIEKA 4 years ago
Oh... I see. I thought you meant untethered totally. Sorry.
NightFlyyer 4 years ago
not a problem, mind telling me what you use for all these videos, to record them that is....
THOMIEKA 4 years ago
Thanks. Well the first 50 videos or so, I used an Aiptek Pocket Cam X. ($29). Then I began using a Sony GC-1. I have a video review on it. The Sony files have to be converted to Avi or WMVs before WMM can edit them so I began using Pinnacle studio software to make the movies.
NightFlyyer 4 years ago
Hi Dave. Did you say this thing can be flown untethered? Does't the "cord" supply the electricity?
