Dreaming in the void blog's sounds. Straight Dope Message Board - View Single Post - The horror of blimps. Last week while travelling I stopped at a Zany Brainy store and saw that they had a blimp for sale. It's called Airship Earth, and it's a great big balloon with a map of the Earth on it, and two propellors hanging from the bottom. You blow up the balloon with helium put batteries in it, and you have a radio controll indoor blimp. I'd seen these things for sale in Sharper Image catalogs for $60-$75.
At Zany Brainy it was on clearance for $15. Last night my wife was playing tennis and it was just my daughter and I at home. Let me tell you, it's quite a blimp. We blew it up with the tank attacched the gondola with the propellors, and put in batteries. Then we balanced the blimp for neutral bouyancy with this putty that came with it, so it hangs in the air by itself neither rising nor falling. It was easy and fun, and then I blew up another balloon and made Mickey Mouse helium voices for my daughter. My three year old girl loved it. Let's face it, blimps are fun. That still doesn't do it.
