This thread shall be the official thread for the upcoming alien air products
(Thanks to Electronick for the super nice images. )











Word on the street is that the Jump Jet will be available to purchase about mid-February from http://www.snelflight.co.uk

any talk of price on the jumpjet as of yet?

Not that i know of, would love to know the pricing on these products though - that will really make or break them.

no doubt, if under 60.00 im there!!

Do these have actual Radio Transmitters or do they use IR?

I would hate to think they are "indoor" only...yawn.

i dont see any antennas

Yeah im more excited about the jump jet than anything else. Im sure the palm z jets will be great. But that extra channel makes all the diff. Under 60 would be wonderful but i doubt it. If they go higher than that i wont be getting one for a while.

i'm guessing the jump jet would be closer to 80-100 bucks. But 60 would be sweet.

My guess: (we should start a pool, the losers buy the winner a Jump Jet)

Jump Jet: 129.00
MicroFly: 19.00
Saucer: 69.00

You have to remember that these are some pretty sophisticated electronics, and there is really not much else out there like them.
Any other
JJ:
M:
S:
Guesses?

Jj: 99.99
M: 29.99
S: 69.99

Jj:79.99
M:19.99
S:69.99

the guesses keep getting lower, heheh

any ideas about how the JJ actually flies? it's essentially a helicopter, with no direct forward thrust, right? if so, what's the difference between the JJ and the Saucer, other than cosmetics?

The Jump-Jet video looks awesome, I need one :-)

Well if you look real close the saucer has the blades all pointing straight up...as the jump jet they are all angled.

Here is the video (thank to Electronick again!)
