Description
This is my first real custom balloon, Thundership 0!
6 feet long and 11 inches wide
It was intended to be a Radio Controlled airship but it turned out that it could only lift just over an ounce. I'll have to make a bigger one, but this one can lift my tiny video camera (the black thing near the front) so I made some fins out of scraps to get it to fly straight in the breeze. The plan is to tether it at 100-150 feet, the breeze caries it away and points it in the right direction and I record model rocket launches from the air!
Took it for a test run today, worked pretty well but there are just too many trees and buildings and not enough wind to tell if it will work as a camera platform. Flew a lot like a kite. Guess I'll see this weekend.
