I really want a 4 - 6 ft. blimp to fly at NM basketball games and stuff. The good news is that tons of people make 4 -6 ft. blimps. Unfortunately, they go from the $100 junky ones, to the $500 - $1000 models with really nothing in between. Tethered blimps are pretty cheap, though... I might have to look into how hard it would be to convert a tethered blimp to a remote control one. Hmmm....
