Blimp envelope payload

But how would you go about this? Do you heat the outside of the blimp, or do you come up with some crazy scheme to heat the inside?

More Servo Control in RC Mode? Oh WEIGHT QUESTION TOO.

Is it possible to gain complete 360 degree control over the servo in RC mode? I admit it doesn't seem necessary with the motors being able to reverse, but this is about stomping my curiosity. Accord…

Quick question: Is it necessary to equip the ultra sonic sensor to the board while configured for RC mode? It seems like it's just dead weight.
