52 inch Replacement Goodyear Blimp Balloon Envelope For All Mach RC Airships

Reader Reviews
We purchased this after the stock one's that came with the gondola set reached their end of life. Inflated it at the grocery store flower arrangements place. Sealed it according to instructions (was disappointed that the "valve" was nothing more intricate than the valve that comes with decorative/party balloons which are only designed to stay inflated a day or so. The valve is basically a press-to-seal type. Well it took 2 days and this thing had already lost enough air to be unsightly. The first ones that came stock lasted about 10 days fully inflated. Since these were more expensive, I expected more from them, such as slightly thicker material and an non-leaking or 1-way valve. Considering the quality, I think they should come in a box of 3 for the same price. Should come with replacement tail fins also. Bottom line? These balloons have about the same quality level as all the other off-shore manufactured toys and other goods we silly consumers keep buying over again. Problem is, I don't see we have a choice to buy anything better. For the price, I'd score these a 1, only because 0 doesn't technically qualify as a valid score.
