He does fly via remote control, and he is five foot long nose to tail. So he is quite large :)

Well a month on Bruce is still flying, but only just! He is hovering about a foot of the floor with no extra weight so I expect that by tomorrow he will be on the ground. I have to say I am impressed by the length of time he lasted. I've been adding air to keep him nice and full and he has held up very well. The balloon itself took more than its fair sure of bumps and knocks since we only have a small house but there is no sign of any holes.

The parts stuck on with stickers however... Well let's just say I bought a cheap balloon from the party store and I'm going to experiment with some glue. While they are still stuck on some of them are only -just- hanging on.

So for the overall rating I'll give it 8 stars out of 10. Two stars off because the sticking tape holding the fins on is not at all well designed or thought out.

That's amazing that you got him to last that long. I'm sure there's still a little more life in him. I had a baloon from a friend's baby shower that I really wanted to keep and... well let's just say it slowly ran out of steam over a period of about a week. It was one of those round plastic shiny baloons with "new baby" or something like that printed on it. I didn't know it came down in the night and I got one foot tangled in the ribbon and the other camedown on the baloon. 'pffffffffff' And that was that. Lol!

The pffffff would have been scary enough for a sighted person. I bet your adrenalin was working overtime, Talon? How scary!

Actually I was more upset than scared. Lol! I think I scared everyone in the house when I fell over the ribbon and yelled because I popped my baloon. Boy that sounded childish. Please don't make fun of me it was a keepsake! *flushes in embarrassment* Luckily my friend had a second one and I cut off the ribbon. When it finally went flat, I put it in one of those document protector thinggies.

Don't worry Talon - I do understand.  OH left me one of those not long after I met him.  This one had legs, and he tucked the feet under my doormat so I found it standing there when I opened the door.  I still have it, packed away carefully!  %)

Hey - I just saw Bruce on telly!  Should have treated him with a bit more respect, though!  >:(

Jonathan, the host, looked a bit put out - I reckon he was straight round there with a puncture repair kit!  :P

I know he has an Aibo - I've always reckoned he probably has a Pleo too!  ;)

Oh nice! Plop! Flying Shark's grand entrence went south. I would've liked to see him gliding along like the inflatable predator he is. Sorry, Sharky.
