I think that the blimp was flawed from the beginning. I purchased it as a gift for my little brother. I had both blimps filled with helium and because we have vaulted ceilings both balloons got stuck up in the crevices of our ceiling without any way to get it down. The propellors that move the balloons have no means of lowering them. As the helium wears off and the blimp can float at a lower height, it could be fun… but until then, we have a blimp and UFO stuck up in our rafters… my brother was underwhelmed… so was I.

It comes with no instructions. The blimp was destroyed instantly when we tried to reposition the gondola – it is taped directly to the ballon and does not come off easily. (velcro would have been a better idea for the makers). Pulling the gondola, even very gently, caused a giant tear in the blimp. We then attached it to the UFO. It goes back and forth but not enough power for down – so the UFO is sitting 15 feet up on our ceiling. It scrapes along the ceiling back and forth but it won’t come down. Maybe we filled it too full but, with no instructions, who knew. Real dissapointing – save your money

It was fun for a couple hours, but 2 days later balloon deflated, on-off switch on the gondola fell inside and top peace of antenna broke off (made of low quality steel).

The controller began to smoke as soon as the battery was inserted. We tried a new battery but the controller
never worked again. We have’nt been able to use the toy yet. Very disappointing!

Warning, use indoors or in “no wind” conditions.
They’re not very durable and avoid very sticky tape, but we had a lot of fun building and deploying these toys!
They went together easily and worked as designed. They’re vulnerable to any wind though and care should be taken when using these. The motor’s not very powerful and any wind is likely to send it off course.
We used tape and string to bond both balloons together for added lift and hung the “helmet” camera from the gondola for a neat video!
