Remote Controlled Miniature Indoor Blimp - ELMN-MIN-BLIMP
ONLY 1 UNIT AVAILABLE!!!
The Nano Blimp is the World's Smallest Remote Controlled Blimp! Add some helium and you can turn any standard latex party balloon into an indoor R/C airship.
With a bit of practice, you'll be piloting this mini dirigible with amazing agility throughout your entire house.
The secret to the Nano Blimp is its gondola which combines motors, propellers, a radio receiver, lithium-ion battery, and a charging port into one super lightweight design.
The sophisticated remote features multiple control modes which will appeal to both beginner and advanced R/C enthusiasts alike.
Designed for ages 8 and up. Requires 4 AAA batteries (not included) and helium (not included).
The Nano Blimp is probably the coolest airship we've encountered. Sure, those obese Goodyear and MetLife blimps are cool (we guess), but when was the last time you got to take the controls? Exactly! Flying your own blimp has never been easy or inexpensive... until now!
The Nano Blimp is an easy-to-use indoor remote-controlled dirigible. With the Nano Blimp, just add helium to one of the included balloons (or any standard party balloon), attach the gondola plus a bit of ballast, and you're off!
Turn any standard latex party balloon into an indoor remote controlled miniature blimp.
The Nano Blimp's gondola is a high-tech and lightweight control mechanism. It features three 1.25" (32mm) propellers, an on/off switch, and a charging port.
Use a piece of the included double-sided tape to affix the gondola to the balloon and then attach a bit of ballast (a series of small magnets) a few inches behind it to achieve neutral buoyancy. Now you're ready to pilot your mini lighter-than-air craft!
A set of three propellers provides precise flying control in all directions.
Setting up the Nano Blimp is easy — you'll be bouncing around the room in minutes. Mastering its flight, however, will take a bit of practice. "Less is more" is definitely the case with the Nano Blimp.
Small bursts of propulsion coupled with a bit of patience are the keys to success. Similar to steering a boat, the Nano Blimp won't react instantaneously when the props are spun. Getting used to this slower feedback mechanism is instrumental to mastering the blimping game. But once you do, circling a lamp or cruising through a small hoop will be easy and fun!
With a bit of practice, anyone can become an expert miniature airship pilot!
The Nano Blimp controller offers three different modes of operation depending on the pilot's control preferences and skill level.
These modes (Airplane Style, Blimp/Tank Style, and Robot Style) alter how the control sticks operate the blimp's propellers. Extensive explanation and directions are included in the product manual. Suffice it to say, this controller has got you covered.
The controller also features a cable to charge the gondola as well as a fire button that lights up a little LED on the gondola and makes neat laser sound effects.
The professional-quality controller delivers proportional control, a built-in charging mechanism,
and the ability to play simultaneously with up to four people.
The Nano Blimp's remote control can broadcast on four different user-selectable frequencies. This means that you can engage in air-to-air blimp combat with up to three other balloon airships.
Simply tape a thumbtack to the front your balloon and get poppin'!
Elevate your blimpin' to the next level with the addition of a thumbtack!
The Nano Blimp comes packaged with 10 balloons. However, any standard party balloon will work. Just add some helium and you're all set!
Note: Helium can be purchased at most large discount stores, party supply shops, or florists.
After you've gone through the included pack of ten balloons,
you can use any standard size latex party balloon.
The Nano Blimp contains everything you need (minus the helium) to turn party balloons into the world's smallest R/C blimp.
In addition to ten latex balloons, you'll receive the remote control, magnetic weights (ballast) with washers, adhesives to attach the gondola and ballast to the balloon, the lightweight gondola, and alternative joysticks (some pilots prefer slightly shorter joysticks). Simply add some helium, and you're ready!
Simply add helium to your Nano Blimp set and you'll be flying in no time!
