Let us go back in time…. Imagine yourself seven years old once more at a party with helium balloons. Remember the excitement of the thing tied to your chair , the joy of whizzing around the house with it on a string and the final disappointment if you took it outside and accidentally let go. Now imagine that same balloon can be controlled by you, flown round the house, up stairs through doorways, at high or low level.

There is no classier indoor toy than a radio controlled helium balloon. Once mastered, it can be flown around the house. Even better, it looks like a va va voom UFO in cool metallic silver. The UFO version has a NEW 3 channel Controller. It comes with a palm-sized transmitter unit and a strong undercarriage. Learning to operate one of these babies does take some mastering, but that’s all part of the fun. You need to be able to float the balloon in mid air, and this takes some balancing, for which the manufacturers supply balancing putty that you can add for more weight. Once balanced, the helium will last for a number of flights before needing to be replenished
