Megatech Mega-Blimp Combo with Lights Airship 1 and UFO Review
I got this for Christmas, and it is too fun! It is very easy to fly, and I like to fly it right up to my 2 year old daughter, who likes to hug it. My older kids also love to fly it around the house.
I got it filled at a florist. It is pretty big so it is hard to handle when full of helium, so I brought a bedsheet with me to the florist–I wrapped the sheet around the filled blimp and carried it by the four corners of the sheet, which also helped weigh it down until I got it home. If you let it go before attaching the gondola, it goes up FAST! We have really high ceilings, so (after learning my lesson) I tied a piece of fishing line (cut from a line included in the set) to the gondola, and now if it’s stuck on the ceiling I can just reach up to grab the string. For extra weight, to achieve neutral buoyancy, you put pennies in slots in the gondola.
The 9-V battery for the RC controller was dead, but I had some new 9-V batteries. The battery that goes in the gondola is a strange size and non-rechargeable, but has lasted for a few days so far. I’m sure I can find a new one at Radio Shack or something when the time comes.
