Subject: [alt-beam] Flying saucer

Hello people,
anyone tried the flying saucer? (check http://www.plantraco.com/
for details). As it seems to me, it's just made of plastic(is mylar
plastic ?). How about filling a swimming wheel ( i mean the
inflatable rings children use to swim, - how are they called
anyway?) with a bit helium putting some motors with propellers in it
- say one in the center to lift, one or two to move forwards and
attach some SE's or bicores to the motors and that's it. Leave it
floating in the livingroom, searching for light, targetting your cat or
whatever.

Also, anyone knows where to get helium?
