Radio Controlled Electric Blimps

Why Fly A Radio Controlled Electric Blimp?:
Radio controlled, indoor, helium airships are safe, very easy to fly, fun for all ages, and light enough to cause no harm when bumped into household objects.

How Do Blimps Stay In The Air?:
Blimps rely on lighter-than-air gasses to provide lift. The gas filling the blimp takes up a certain volume, but weighs less than the same volume of air. This makes the blimp buoyant. A simple experiment to demonstrate buoyancy can be done with an air filled balloon and a sink or tub full of water. If you hold the balloon under the water, you will feel a strong force pushing up on it. This is because the air is taking up space, but weighs much less than the same amount of water. The heavier water is attempting to fill this space, thus pushing the balloon up.

Helium, Hydrogen, And Hot Air:
There are a few lighter-than-air gasses that can be used in blimps and airships. Helium is often used because it is easily available and safe. Hydrogen provides slightly more lift, but is not used as frequently due to its flammability. Hot air requires only a portable source of heat, and is used in hot air balloons, which are able to carry a heater and fuel .

What Are Blimps Made Of?:
Blimps usually consist of a gondola with electronics and fans, suspended from a gas filled envelope. In order to contain a lighter-than-air gas, a non porous material must be used. Mylar, a material also used in spacesuits is a common choice. Mylar is metalized plastic, and can contain helium much longer that rubber or latex.

Join the RC Blimps Fun Patrol and Keep Your Home or Office Boredom-Free

When the forces of boredom strike it's your duty to start up a remote control blimp or remote controlled UFO from RCToys and hit back with everything you've got.

Whether it's Friday at 4:00 pm and you fly your Mach III Goodyear remote control blimp around the office plastered with innuendo-ridden but largely inoffensive slogans or a rainy Sunday afternoon and you're making your wife's cats hiss at the Mach III radio controlled flying saucer, it's your duty to stand up against the tedious tyranny of boredom.

For marketers seeking to catch attention in a crowded (...and sometimes boring) convention hall we recommend the Summit X-Pro Industrial Radio Controlled Flying Saucer. Put your name on the side of the Summit X-Pro and make your brand the buzz of your next conference!

In addition to being vital to the war on boredom, RC blimps and remote controlled UFOs are filled with helium and make the perfect rc airships for beginners because they're so easy to control.

So relax - there are MANY RC airships in your hanger for the war on boredom. Buy now, pilot and fly! And let boredom beware.
