Please note: This is the OFFICIAL Mini Vectron Blackhawk (as seen on TV in the Firebox documentary) - beware of cheap low quality imitations!
The Vectron Blackhawk - the classic indoor spinning UFO - has consistently been one of our best-selling radio controlled toys over the last few years. The Vectron only had only one drawback: it was mains powered, and so the UFO and controller were tethered by cables. The Mini Vectron Ultralite is the brand new successor to the Blackhawk and solves both these problems: it is smaller, battery powered and completely wireless - creating the ultimate in indoor UFO havoc!
The Mini Vectron's high-efficiency motor and counter-rotating body system provides lift and rotational stability. You control the Mini Vectron's height via the handheld Infra-red controller - fly up, down & hover by simply squeezing the one-button trigger with varying pressure. (Please note: residual air currents in the room will dictate left-right & forward-back movement).

The secret to the Mini Vectron's power source lies in the Launch Pad which cunningly doubles as a Charging Station, powering the Vectrons onboard 100mA Ni-MH rechargeable battery.
The Mini Vectron charges in around 10 minutes, giving up to 3 minutes of flying time. With a bit of practice you'll be taking off, hovering and landing like an expert.

I just got one and WOW! As soon as I took it out of the box I put it on charge and then lether rip! I made it hover dead still in the middle of the living room, one guy was walking outside and just stopped and stared at it! Then I thought it's time for some real fun! it was just becoming dark when I took it outside (be carfull if u do) and I could see the guy next door washing up next to his window, so after a full charge I sent it off, it flew very high and then as there was hardly any wind i manged to hover it just above my fence, I didn't know what his reaction was? I couldn't see, so I cut the power and it fell. I ran into my house up stairs and looked through my window, now i could see two peple at the window just looking up! (His wife and him) I could see him pointing outside saying something and she just kinda gave him a stupid look and walked off. it was sooooo funny. p.s my cat loves it too.Chris .F., Worthing - May '04
Best toy I have bought in a long time, although you only control altitude, by varying in different parts of the room, a degree of lateral movement can be had.
I'm getting 3 - 4 minutes 'fly time' and about a 10 minute charge.
The perfect amount of time for a quick Bop It challenge.
It's hard to explain just how truly brilliant this is, get one and see....Chris, Lancing - Mar '04
This baby is a joy, takes 3-4 mins for a full charge. Then just grab the hand set and away you go for about 7 Minutes. The best charge-and-play ratio around. Few things though. 1: you only control height, so be prepared to smash things up & upset the dog. 2: Don't take it outside - it just ain't worth it. As soon as it's out of range it powers up - takes off further out of range flips up side down and jammy dodgers itself off the pavement. w00t w00t! Mine still flies even although its smashed to bits !! Graham, Scotland. - Feb '04
