Order an MB1

Each MB1 kit costs $75 and includes:

• Fully finished envelope
• All the carbon fiber rods and other parts required
• Motor
• Propeller
• Filler nozzle and hose
• Ballast and miscellaneous odds & ends

To build the kit you only need very basic tools and supplies such as:

• Thin and medium CA glue
• Cotton sewing thread
• A package of Hefty 10 1/4" foam plates ($3 for 25 pieces)
• Soldering iron and solder to attach the motor to the speed control
• 3/4" wide Scotch tape and / or masking tape

To fly the blimp, you will also need:

• A lightweight radio set like the Hitec 3SS FM ($110-120), or similar.
• A 4- or 5-cell battery pack that weights less than 2 ozs. (60 gr). For best duration, use 4 AAA alkalines or 4 700 mAh AAA rechargeable NiMH cells. Four NiMH cells are available here for only $10.
• Speed control (ESC) - very easy to make (and inexpensive). The enclosed manual has full step-by-step instructions for making your own ESC from any standard servo ($14 or so).
  If you do not have a suitable servo you can purchase one here. The cost is $14. Finished and tested ESC's are also available for $26 each.
