Tony Patman Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Has anyone tried or seen an attempt at a flying model airship? I don't mean some glorified balloon, I mean a scale model of R101 or a Zeppelin or something like that, with engines and control over attitude and buoyancy. Mass, I would imagine, would dictate that success could only occur on a calm day. I wonder whether the quantity of helium needed would be affordable?

Erfolg Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 In one of Ron Warrings (I think) how to aeromodel books, there was a photograph of a Zepplin type model. But I do not know if it flew, and if it did how well.The one blimp type model i have seen fly, I would not be very hopeful. It was quite large, an American kit, control was approximate at best. Used vectoring motors primarily.Erfolg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
