@ iflyrc1012 I'm doing it more for a scale model that would look cool than for fun flying so hopefuly I will not be that bored.

@ tyco probabaly just a pair of motors from plantraco, maby two extra ones wired right to a battery that just continualy run with two more to steer.
I was thinking of making it in two peices. One left and one right held together by some rare earth magnets so that i can place the ballons of hellium directly in it rather than trying to seal it all the way up.
