Air Dancers are our number one product. We make and sell over 80% of all U.S. made Air Dancers and our new “TANK” heavy duty version just released Dec 23 2009 is by far the highest quality unit available anywhere.
While others have found ways to cut corners and imitate our prior high quality units, there is no way to imitate the quality of our new Air Dancers.
We start with high quality proven 1.3 oz double coated UV protected ripstop material, create a 9” x 18” wide 7.5 oz vinyl base, use only 5 thread sewing machines and sew up the base to beyond any other companies efforts. We use 2” Velcro and also reinforce that beyond any other company.
Our seams are triple stitched and all seam work is done using the worlds strongest outdoor thread, Batlet and Hemmingway v69 polyester.
Our lettering is cut extra large using the best boat sail insignia cloth in the world and each it cut, glued and attached using the same quality thread using a zig zag stitch to disperse the stress load. It costs more, but it makes for a better Air Dancer.
We only use the industry’s best fan, the 18” 3/4 HP high efficent B-Air BB2 blower known for it’s low amp start up, extra copper motor and waterproof 2 speed high quality switch.
Our Air Dancer is simply the best made and the longest lasting unit anywhere and it is exclusive to our company.

Secure helium locally at any welding, hospital supply or industrial gas co. Shop for best deal. Helium will run apx $110 a tank and there should be no tank deposit and no charge for pick up. Also, no charge for delivery or unused tanks.
MATERIAL PVC 18 mill thick (poly vinyl chloride) with UV inhibitor. Next best material to nylon. Great for special event or occasional use. Never buy a urethane blimp. Garbage bags are made of 3.5 mill urethane, so are some blimps. Buyer beware.
3 layer Nylon - Unlike traditional white blimp nylon, we use a material that is specially milled for our blimps. In addition, it comes dyed in all basic colors except black. This material is very durable and take heavy handling and everyday use for up to 2 years. Its greatest asset is its ability to hold helium for 7 to 8 days before requiring a top off of 25%, 3 days longer than traditional nylon. This will save you a lot of money on helium if you use it for extended periods of time. EXPANSION BLADDER Blimps expand and contract from air temperature. Our pvc blimps will expand naturally. Our nylon blimp material expands a little (unlike traditional nylon) and we build an expansion bladder into the bottom that gathers up loose fabric in cold weather and releases fabric in warm weather.
ARTWORK Before production, our artist will render a mock up for you approval. Next, your art is output to a computer driven plotter that cuts the giant patterns that are used by our craftsman to apply your art to both sides. We use special paint called “Flex Art” that actually expands and contracts with the blimp. No chipping because it becomes a part of the material.
WORKMANSHIP All seams are heat sealed, not sonic welded. This provides an even pressure on all seams. Our blimps are computer engineered, time proven and over built with up to 10 attachment points that converge to a well placed O ring that ensures your blimp will always face the wind and direct air flow underneath it so you blimp never dives.
Our blimp is also the only blimp that comes ready to fly out of the box. No fin assembly. No struts to attach. We build and ship it in such a way that all you need to do is add helium and tie a good knot :) !
OPTIONS Banners Get your selling point across with a flag banner. 5 x 7 feet double sided banners fly just below your blimp for added signage or the more effective 2 x 18 FT vertical style.
Internal Light System Light up your blimp for night time advertising. 300 watt halogen bulb on a 10 “ wand plugs into a filler inlet. Comes with 125 foot long thin power cable to attach to your tether. Requires 110 volt outlet.
COMPLETE AND READY TO FLY Includes 125 feet of 1/4 nylon tether, 5 foot filler hose with brass fitting, repair kit and instructions.
WARRANTY Your blimp warranty will cover material and workmanship for one year. Make sure you are able to use a helium flying sign in your city before purchasing
BLIMP REVIEW
Blimps are a very powerful way to drive traffic to your location. They create a landmark status and anchor your existing ad campaign by re-enforcing your branding directly over your location. Generally, blimp use is restricted in most cities. Always check to see if you see any in your immediate locality, city or county. A call to check on this is always advised. In many cases, customers fly their blimps on weekends or a couple times a month regardless. The expected traffic increase ranges from 15% to 35% and more.
Call us to review your application and planned use and we will consult you on whether a blimp is a viable solution, and if so, what size, material, most effective use of art copy, side panels for changing messages, expected helium cost, wind conditions, surroundings, FAA rules, etc.
Shopping for a blimp can be daunting. We will give you honest, straight forward information to assist you in making a smart and feasible choice for your outdoor advertising.
