If you have any version of the Flyer, an Engager, or anything similar, feel free to drop me to a note or pictures for
inclusion here. All other questions and suggestions are also welcome.
The critter shown here came out in the mid-90's. Compared to current versions, it required an external receiver and had a
Gatorboard (a hard foamcore) frame that damaged easily.
It was sold by "Area Fifty-One Technology" (A.F.O.T.) in Nevada, and it was called
"The Roswell Flyer" (for obvious reasons).
AFOT wasn't able to make a go of it and the design, etc was taken over by Zenon Dragan who called it DraganFlyer
(also for reasonably obvious reasons) (:-)
Two major improvements are that the receiver is now incorporated in the "brain" making the unit
simpler / lighter / more reliable, and that DraganFlyer now comes with a carbon frame, which also makes
things simpler / lighter / more reliable. (I like things that are simpler / lighter / more reliable.)(:-)
I picked up one of the originals a few years ago but didn't like the stock frame at all so I never even assembled it.
Instead I made my own carbon frame (as well as some changes to the wiring) but the running gear was unchanged,
(as shown below or on the related pages).
