Unfortunately, the UFO is just that.

But you would be seriously surprised how well it works. Once you have the thing set up, all you need a large sailboat, and your ready to go and make another one. They are fast, slow sinking (something like 1 stud per 5 seconds), and small. Not to mention easily controllable, fireproof and that one tower is 12 studs tall, meaning that two trees will add a minute to it's lifespan. I made a 68 tower high tower before, so you really cant say it is too hard. That is an over an hour of flight (if I had built it over water).

So basically, cheap, simple flight. Its surprising we don't see much of it. Imagine a leading a raiding force of 4 people all riding one of those, armed with crossbows and ignitors. That would create serious damage. Kill everyone in the village as you sink, then once your in range start speeding around the settlement lighting all the buildings on fire from above. Death from above.
