Miniature Blimp Remote Control Airship Very Cool RC Toy

[edwdixon5]

RC blimps need approval from an air marshall. Who knew?

[SteveHMcIntosh]

@edwdixon5 LOL, noOOOOOOOOOOO, that is just a friend NAMED MARSHALL... NOT AN AIR MARSHALL....lol

[edwdixon5]

@SteveHMcIntosh (whispers:) i know

[SteveHMcIntosh]

@edwdixon5 (thinking that a guy whispering to me is a little creepy) lol...

[Lumafasso]

What Bam doing on that video. Lol thats random

[WheelDweller]

I'll bet that flying a gas blimp of this size is interesting- the longer the flight, the more bouyant it is! Does it offer much longer flights than electric?

[SteveHMcIntosh]

@WheelDweller It runs as long as you have gas in it, it sounds like flying chainsaws lol

[ProChoiceJesus]

Whoa! You got a 512 area code on the side! That's in my vicinity! I'm in Waco, is this blimp housed in the Austin or central Texas area? I'd love to see it, and buy one, too. Is there anyone you know of working on, flying, or considering a rigid, zeppelin-type r/c model? Or any you know that have ever been done? I'm considering this venture to scratch my lifelong enthusiast zeppelin itch.

[ProChoiceJesus]

Is this a one-off or homemade blimp, or is it commercially available, or just plain buyable anywhere at any price? I am a beginner r/c plane fanatic, also a commercial/instrument rated fixed wing & free balloon pilot with a long-time fascination for dirigibles. I am considering a handmade zeppelin, r/c of course, not full-size. If I had hundreds of millions at my disposal, I'd start thinking about a Graf Zeppelin. I'd pilot it, of course.

[theofficialstig]

minature thats freakin' huge!

[circusitch]

I want one.

[pongboy1100]

Paint some WW1 decoration on it!

[rotenburk]

my pet, hamster can ride that :D

[cjellwood]

make a flying saucer you boring bastards

[jorgeley]

Hey, how do you make the blip go down? and land it?

[SteveHMcIntosh]

The fans / propellers on each side of the cabin can point in any direction. then can make the "neutrally buoyant" blimp go in any direction. note the rudders on the back for side to side motion as well as up and down.

[jorgeley]

Thank you! one last question... Is it hard lo guide it with strong winds? or high altitude?

[SteveHMcIntosh]

yes, it is impossible in high wind. if it gets too far away from you its gone...lol

[jorgeley]

lol!.... The thing is that I was offered a job flying a blimp similar to yours (11 mts.) and I don´t know much about it.

I do know how to fligh rc helicopters and I have one t-rex 500 ESP and one t-rex 250.

Can you please tell me approximately the safe altitude that it is supposed to fly? and how far should it get from me?

Thanks a lot man!

[josephtan1818]

@SteveHMcIntosh there was been a one case of a rc blimp causing a buzz around the salt lake city, I believe it could be a battery powered w/ electric hungry motor mounted on the rear causing it to malfunction, many people thought it was ufo but eventually found out to be helium filled toy which went down into a office building

[map4434]

how is that miniture?

[Daninitbigup]

Lmao @ Robertinfink nice idea... give your hamster a ride :P

[jerryaltman]

How they balance the weight? If the atmosphere pressure change the balance between the weight and the balloon push will change.

[airlinerdude12]

they cost about 2000 bucks empty!

[star0the0legend]

i fuckin want one man!!!!

[mrpaintballfan]

dude you have to tell me whare you got this

[spiker546]

This blimp is huge!Idk how its miniature.

[jhuffy886]

because a normal sized blimp is like 10 times bigger compared to that

[cantelli11]

Veery nice!

[TaffyAlpha]

I would love to get a long-range rc blimp, and fly it low over our neighboring rival high school. On the side it would say in large letters "SCHS."

[ElvenDane]

Cool - how much extra weight will one of that size carry ?

[SteveHMcIntosh]

If you can fit in to the cab it will take you for a ride!

[ElvenDane]

Aha, that much weight ? *LOL*

Amazing. 200 lbs in my case ;-)

Or I could hang in a strap under it, I suppose ?

[robertinfink]

Really though, could it support any weight? Or could it only give my hamster a ride?

[hellbys]

Hinderburg!!!!

[RcGuitarHeli]

Don't want that to crash.

[ThisWayIsBetter]

dosnt it blow away? how do u get it back? O_o

[ChrisXCXCX]

cant be worth 5 grand.

[littlerockblog]

how much does one of these things cost? Any more info would help too.

[SteveHMcIntosh]

It is a Carolina Airship. They run about 5k plus depending on the extras you are looking for. I do not sell them but a google search of "rc airships" will get you 220,000 results.

[chaddexter]

like any one could see that number

[SteveHMcIntosh]

I know, i should make it larger huh?

[mrmcmoney]

hHAHAHAHA

[pcphobic]

[SteveHMcIntosh]

Thats what all the girls say!
