Actually I'm thinking about making the worlds first flying saucer / UFO. (Here me out before you call for the men in white coats)..

I’ll start out with a cross (probably carbine fiber) maybe 2 feet in across, then I’ll add 4 articulating servos one on each end of the cross,

then I mount 4 BL motors on the servos, this action should provide with lift and direction. Then I can mount cut something circular in half mount each side to the center of the cross and have them both slightly elevated on each side of the cross in the middle with the tops of the spheres resting on / in bearings (so it spins) and since the entire body of the sphere rotates, this should provides all the gyroscopic stability necessary for hovering flight, one would think / hope!..

I can them mount a small BL motor horizontally to make the two spears turn, add on some light and a smoke system and Vala!

I’ve got the first flying saucer.

Of course I’ve got Many, many issues to resolve but that’s what RD is for..

It will be something like this but not like this..

Much cooler!.. But this at least shows me that with a little ingenuity this thought / project can be done http://www.vectronblackhawk.com/mainpage.htm

So what do you think??

Yes, NO, you can do better!.. LOL.LOL

Thanks for your time team and have a great one
