Remote-control frisbee

This flying toy will resemble a normal frisbee, with the addition of a remote-controlled servo-operated tail. The tail will be constructed of a lightweight material (for instance, balsa wood) and mounted to the center of the frisbee, allowing for exclusive rotation of the frisbee. A servo will be mounted directly beneath the center of mass of the frisbee to control the tail's attitude. It will be radio-controlled by the user. To make for a longer flight (and therefore more obvious control), an Aerobi could be used in place of a regular frisbee. Children will learn about aerodynamics principles from this toy.
