The box actually has the Cox name in the upper left hand corner. They made flying model aircraft, as well as other types of operating models, such as cars, boats, and this Flying Saucer.
They could be dangerous if not used properly so I wouldn't classify them as toys. I had a dune buggy and a couple of control line aircraft. Taught me a lot about how a motor works.
A friend had one of those saucers in white. We flew it one day and never saw it again. There was a you tube video on Plaid Stallions showing one in action.
Looks like a rebranded/relabeled version of the Cox Flying Saucer, a freeflight gas-powered flying saucer powered by a .049 nitro engine.
ReplyDeleteFascinating Captain. I never had anything nitro powered!

ReplyDeleteWell spotted Paul. Can gas powered models be classed as toys,?

ReplyDeleteBlimey, this saucer is packaged like a toy. Dangerous! Wow!

ReplyDeleteNever saw it again! Ha ha, that did make me chuckle!
DeleteHilarious! A gas-powered Flying Saucer! An early incarnation of "Steampunk," perhaps? SFZ
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Yep, SF, Gaspunk!
DeleteYou were supposed to measure the amount of file you put into it to prevent flyaways but who reads the instructions.
ReplyDeleteHee hee! So where did you get flying saucer fuel from anyway?
