RE: R/C blimp-cam setup and hardware recommendations.

Cool,

Yours is about twice the size as the one from St Lukes. I flew it for them for three years and this is the first year they didn't use it for advertising. It was really a blast to fly in a...

RE: R/C blimp-cam setup and hardware recommendations.

Sounds like a good sized blimp. Bigger than the one I've flown. How much weight in ballast do you have to make that beast neutral if you fill it real full? There are plenty of low power 2.4 Ghz...

RE: video vendor woes.

I think email is the worst possible thing that can happen to a part time business. I've done it before.

RE: Prop changes when increasing weight/high altitude

The prop size depends on the...

RE: First video, and horizontal moving lines!

Good catch. It may be a factor of the CMOS/CCD pick up device then. It is a freeze frame of the prop. It looks the way it does because the way the lines scan across the surface of the pickup device....

RE: Dynaflite Butterfly as AV platform or alternative please help?

Ricky is correct in what he says. I'm building an electric for my stable of planes right now. The gas ones are harder to get the vibes out of. I don't use glow at all for AP. It's too messy without a...
