12m Outdoor RC Blimp: 25m³ Helium, 3-4kg Payload & 60+ Min Flights
Worlwide delivery - to more than 90 countries
The 12m Outdoor RC Blimp from RC-Zeppelin embodies aerial excellence—25+ years of engineering mastery in a massive 24-28m³ helium powerhouse lifting 3-5kg payloads for pro surveillance, TV production, and blockbuster ads. Its double-welded polyurethane envelope defies 9m/s winds with vectored carbon-fiber motors and aileron fins for unmatched stability, delivering 60+ minute flights at 40-50km/h. Custom-logo ready with FAA/EASA safety, this behemoth outshines rivals in endurance and precision—your ultimate sky-dominating platform since Aero Drum's 1999 legacy.
Key specs include 125-micron polyurethane envelope (double-welded/ultrasonic), side vectored motors in carbon fiber housings, composite fins with ailerons, and FAA/EASA-compliant safety features like RC valves and bobbins. FAA/EASA compliance ensures safe operation up to 9m/s winds (15m/s gusts), max speed 40 to 50km/h, and precise hovering.
Built on 20+ years of RC blimp expertise, the 12m model originated from TVN Germany's request for North Sea wind stability and HD camera clearance. Side vectored motors provide lateral thrust for superior hovering, unlike basic rear-prop designs from competitors. Low helium permeability (under 1% daily) ensures multi-year envelope life with proper care—resistant to UV/abrasion. Electric propulsion beats gasoline rivals in reliability and noise
Technical Specifications
- The 12m Outdoor RC Blimp delivers pro-grade performance with 24-28m³ helium volume for 3-5kg payload capacity beyond onboard systems.
- It features a 125-micron polyurethane envelope using ultrasonic welding (0.5-1% daily helium loss max), 2x side vectored motors in carbon fiber/3D printed housings, and 1x rear L/R motor for stability up to 9m/s winds (15m/s gusts)
- Composite fins include ailerons (4x servos), FAA/EASA-compliant safety with 2x RC valves, bobbin drop, UBEC receiver power, and rail system for payload centering.
- Powered by 30Ah LiPo main battery + 5Ah system (60+ min flights, 40-50km/h max speed), it uses 8ch Futaba/Graupner/Spektrum RC with 17ft tether and 2m fill hose.
- Envelope size: 12m length x 2.2m diameter; packed ~100kg in plywood custom case for worldwide shipping (35-45 days production). RTF from €42k+ excludes helium.

Aero Drum LTD Company Origins
Founded by Aero Drum Ltd, RC-Zeppelin.com began serial production of RC blimps in 1999, drawing on decades of lighter-than-air expertise to create the smallest ready-to-fly models like the 1.5m indoor RC blimp. From humble beginnings in Europe, the site evolved into a global hub for hobbyists, advertisers, and professionals seeking helium-filled zeppelins under 12m, filling a niche left by larger rigid airships of the early 20th century. By 2026, it powers sales through rcblimpsforsale.com, honoring Zeppelin heritage while innovating for modern RC flying.
Warning: Flying outdoor RC blimps requires advanced prior knowledge of RC piloting as well as all necessary public flight licenses.
