Gifts - for Makers who like blimps
I like big blimps, I can't deny... Today's gift guide is a little different, it's for the Makers in your life that like blimps. I looked around the web and didn't see any blimp gift guides, so here's the first and only that I know of. This year we added our own autonomous blimp kit to the Maker store, I'm in the middle of building one now and it's a lot of fun - a great gift for youngsters and oldsters - included in this guide is our latest issue with the blimp bot (pictured above from monkyatomc's photos), the kit, a comprehensive book on airships and some RC controlled blimps - Link.
