Other UFO Saucers

In addition to the Centuri Alien Encounter Flying Saucer,
here's more of the kitted Saucers!
I know there have been others, these are probably the better known LPR models.

In a comment Bernard Cawley reminded me of two more:
The Fliskits Frick-n-Frack a two-stage saucer.

The three-stage 13mm motor FlisKits Trifecta:

Ed Mitton reminded me of another:
Estes INVADER!

Be careful with this one - they are known to loop and prang!

  1. I consider the Fliskits Frick-n-Frack a two-stage saucer. https://www.fliskits.com/WPRESS/product/frick-n-frack/

    There is also the three-stage 13mm motor Trifecta: https://www.fliskits.com/WPRESS/product/trifecta/

    1. Hi Bernard,
      I knew there would be a few I'd miss! I listed the ones that came to mind and some I have built and flown.

  2. The Flis Kit saucers are still on the wayback machine at https://web.archive.org/web/20181008061506/http://fliskits.com/products/free_stuff.htm

    1. Thanks for the link Smitpa!
      I've built and launched all three of the Triple Threat Saucers. Bending those landing leg wires was tight!

  3. Hi, Chris,
    Would the Estes Astron Invader B/G qualify for inclusion in the list.
    Even though it's a glider, there is still that 'flying saucery' look to it.

    1. Hi Ed,
      Of course the Invader should have been on the list! I knew I wasn't going to remember them all - I'll add it to the others.
