Default rc blimp

hello,

this is my first time in a forum. actually i need help with my first rc project, a 7 foot blimp. I'm not sure what motor,prop and esc combination would prove to have the best thrust. I'm staying in Malaysia and i have practically no one i can look for help here.
since my blimp is rather small, i have weight limitations. I thought of powering the blimp with two electric motors but not sure which yet? would each motor require a separate esc? what model/type of motor would be the best?

all inputs are welcome,thank you.

Try here http://www.airdyn.com/ I have heard of guys using the small vibrator motors from old beepers too. When desiging any electric power system first you decide on the motor, speed control, servos, and battery pack. The weight of this and the radio tells you how much lift is needed and the size of the wing or the gas bag.
