Flying RC fish lighter than air...?

I´ve been entrusted to put together a model of flying fish recently.  
 
It´s a clown fish bought on Ebay, which can, after filling with helium and putting together with some other parts, fly in halls or bigger rooms.  
 
Clown is actually moving by swinging movement of the back flipper. There´s no „forward“ button, but just „up-and-down“ keys to balance the fish and „left-and-right“ key to control the flipper.  
 
So when you want to move forward, you just have to press left-right-left-right... :)  
 
I think that it´s an interesting idea made to quite functional status. It´s something a little different and I thought it could be pleasant distraction even for classical modellers.  
 
That´s why I made a short video about it´s montage and first flights.  
 
I hope you´ll enjoy the Flying fish!
