IMG_2409.JPG: Paste this image in your site, Myspace, Facebook, Ebay copy this code...

Everyone likes toys that fly. Unfortunately, most R/C planes are hard to control for people without any experience. Why not make an easy to fly blimp? It’s really quick to make, and many people have at least one of the R/C helicopters used in the build. Even if you had to buy (2) helicopters your cost would be less than $60. Best of all, it is completely non-destructive and can be reversed in la few seconds. So if you have kids, are a kid, or just act like a kid, give this a try. You will love it.
What you need:

(2) 24″ long balsa dowels
