> 24 hourWe first saw these at an RV parking area. The couple parked next to us had them hanging from their large rear view mirrors. They really arent balloons. They are more like whirlygigs that spin in the wind. What a great way to show your patriotic pride instead of just flying the American flag.

> 24 hourI absolutely love this hot air balloon. Reminds me of when I was a kid and watched the hot air balloon races with my siblings. I saw it in a hobby store and had to have it. I bought the patriotic one first (I plan on buying at least one more). I ordered through Amazon because the price was cheaper than the hobby store. Packaging was perfect and it wasnt hard to put together at all. I got a little pissed because I didnt realize they have to go in a certain way to make the flag design right but that was my fault for not thinking of that first...so line up the pieces first with the lines going the right way. Other than that I LOVE IT. I hung it on the side of my screened in porch so I can sit in my swing and watch it spin...doesnt take much wind at all to make it go and boy does it look cool. Only thing that I might get annoyed about...I noticed it squeaks a little when it spins. Its coming from the top where it hangs (the pin that holds the string on)...not sure if that will eventually stop. Its not real loud but Im a little anal about stuff like that. Than again, maybe the little noise will scare the animals away at night. We have a lot of deer, raccoons and foxes in the yard at night. Sometimes they get at our trash. Hmmmm...maybe I just found yet another positive thing about this spinner. It is really beautiful to look at. And it seems pretty well made too. The 22 inch was the perfect size...not too small, not too big.

> 24 hourWhat a fine way to wave/spin your flag. Durable construction and nice vibrant colors. The instructions didnt quite work for me, as they stated to line up each piece starting with the longest exposed part of the rod. However, this is what worked for me: -Lay out each piece, starting with the one in the middle of the picutre (2 stars). -Lay a piece to the right of the center piece and be sure that the red stripe lines up in an upward direction. -Once youve laid out the right side pieces, place the next piece to the left of the center piece, be sure to line up the stripe in a downroad direction. -Once all the pieces are laid out, grab the one furthest to your right, insert it into the bottom and top holes, then just continue in a clockwise direction with the remaining pieces. I have a large shepareds hook that I want to dangle the balloon from. But, the end fastener on the balloon isnt large enough to go over the rather large shepards hook. This is an easy fix. Just use one of those round keychain rings that you may have laying around the house, hook it onto the fastener on the end of the balloon and itll slip over with ease and spin freely. Plus, those circular keychain rings are normally made of stainless steel, so they wont rust.

> 24 hourLove this patriotic balloon so much I have started giving as gifts. However, I finally decided to purchase one for myself and ended up needing to replace the first one only to find out it has the same issue-several of the shaping rods slide-in rather than a tight fit in. I exchanged/ordered 3 more times. I asked my first-gift recipient if she had issues and she did not. The second recipient hasnt received it yet. Update: The second recipient received hers and had to return for an exchange due to poor workmanship. The second one worked. This is a military family in Guam so this exchange was a nightmare. Wrote Premier Kites and Sadie Bratts prompt response was: I’m not sure what is going on, my only suggestion is to put a dab of glue on the fiberglass rod when you insert it into the hub. Thanks! For $50+ I expected not to have to add glue straight out of the box.
