3 years into making this Model hot air balloon into an RC airship and we finally took the Giant Leap forward (if at a very slow pace) See the project background here • RC Hot Air Balloon Exp...
I started out developing a new style of radio control model hot air balloon, with some novel features built in and then asked the question `if it turn this on its side can I make it operate like a Blimp'
I built in some internal rigging to carry the weight of a basket, burner and RC fuel system - and with some advanced planning on the balloons design, created a shape which would distribute the load well, added a nose cone and some basic tail fins and began to experiment.
This year we made a massive step forward, with the project moving to a team effort, with different people joining in and bringing their experience, including my friend Bob, with some good woodworking knowledge to construct internal working, Adam running the burner so I could get a good look and of course @louishartley6926 who 3d printed and built the RC drone Motor systems for propulsion.
