Love the saucer!!

Here's the most recent flight - https://www.flickr.com/photos/oflittleinterest/albums/72157667353771920

The best thing is I fly it when I do demo launches :) I've done two with schools and one with the maker space I'm in. Space is usually limited so A's and B's are the motors of choice, putting the saucer up on a G just blows everyone away :)

I think you are missing the point by a few miles. In the last couple of years, people have come to a rather informal agreement that for the SS in July, the gift ideas are less than during the Secret Santa in December. Also, listing items that are way out of peoples standard price range will do nothing except provide a guilt trip for the person who gets picked for your santa
