A toy blimp with at least one engine, and preferably two, mounted on a top side of an inflatable helium balloon blimp like member, and an infrared control circuit and power supply mounted on a bottom side. The balloon can be aluminum coated mylar, or preferably of a material which retains helium. A remote control transmitter with push buttons transmits infrared control signals to the control circuitry on the balloon for horizontal and vertical directional control. The blimp operates from the self-contained power supply and is controlled by the self-contained control system which receives control signals from the transmitter. The blimp is intended for free flight and as an amusement.
