ThinkGeeks new favorite office toy! Ever since we began testing this product at the
ThinkGeek Department of Research and Development (err, our office), we've been unable to stop testing it. This remote controlled microblimp is more fun than a barrel
of monkeys and that's something we rarely say here at ThinkGeek because, well, a barrel
of monkeys provides extreme delight. You will enjoy piloting the Microblimp with precision, proportional fingertip control of climbs, turns and dives up to 200 feet away! And since it's only twenty inches across you can deftly maneuver it around office, cube farm or abode for serious indoor satisfaction...
The Microblimp is ready to fly at a moments notice. Just pull your fully charged battery off of the combination transmitter/charger and you are ready for R/C Flying Fun! Finally, a proportional transmitter that is appropriate to the size and weight of indoor micromodels like the Microblimp! Where's the antenna? This is 900Mhz, so the full size antenna is actually hidden inside the transmitter case! As commander in chief of the world's smallest micro radio controlled blimp, you'll be able to finally complete your lifelong mission to die happy.
Miniature gimballed joysticks and the rock solid 900Mhz digital R/C system give you the satisfaction of precision full proportional control indoors or out. Experienced R/C aircraft pilots will also appreciate the two user selectable mixing modes and R/C newbies will just be dumbstruck with fun poisoning. The Microblimp itself (constructed of a metallic nylon) is surpisingly quiet during operation
and so sneaking up on your fellow co-workers is quite easy. Take off and land vertically, spin in place, fly in all directions! Whatever you want to do. Chase your dogs, buzz past co-workers craniums, fly by the suits in the board room, or just enjoy wreaking general airspace havoc.
The Microblimp arrives ready to go - complete with Transmitter-Charger, Gondola, Rechargeable Lithium Polymer Cell, Balloon, Ballast weights and Instructions. Simply Fill with Helium and add 4 - AA batteries (not included) to the transmitter, and you are ready to fly in your own Living Room! You can purchase home use helium tanks (pre-filled) at most toy, party and discount stores. Or take it to the nearest florist for a fill-up.
