Hi Adam I have tested a ballonet system in a similar airship. It is more about maintaining the correct envelope pressure while on the ground, between sun and cloud cover, is less of a problem once in…"
"Hi john see my previous video for the type of airship https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMPtHGWouNQ
Wind speed was about 5-6 mph. Will test in higher speeds soon.
The video was all about proving the endurance not video quality, will combine…"
RC Airship Long Endurance Drone 1 cubic meter Vol. 1hr 30 mins flight on one 5.2 Amp LiPo Battery Battery 12.6V at start 11.2V end Downlink Camera only no Gimbal. - ( Gimbal and action cam next flight test)
This video (poor quality down link and camera gimbal error) with MyFlyDream controller- demonstrates air speed, ground speed,throttle position and amps used on the left.…"
"Hi John
To clarify
1) L to D ratio is 4
2) Envelope material is different from helium storage material. 1m3 gives 400g payload. Metalisation reduces porosity significantly
3) Helium costs per yr is about £80.
4) Payload is protected by the envelope…"
"Hi Olivier
To answer a number of comments on the RC Airship.
Due to the high cost of operating with the type of RC airships that have been available for a number of years. I developed my own RC airship withe the primary goal of reducing the cost…"

"Hi
two more videos
Hands free flight with KK2.2 controller for stability - pitch and yaw - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkOfRnTd73s
Early test of MFD controller low quality video but - check out air speed, ground speed, throttle setting and…"
"Hi All
To answer a number of comments on the RC Airship.
Graham Dyer - Yes your correct about the high cost of operating with the type of RC airships that have been available for a number of years.
That is why I developed my own RC airship withe…"
"Have you considered a RC Airship option.
I have developed a low cost RC Airship with endurance of 1 hr 400g payload and 1 m3 vol helium and with a helium recovery system. Has Camera gimbal and flight controller etc. Endurance and payload could be…"
"The RC airship I have developed uses 1 M3 of Helium only and I have a simple storage /transport /recovery system so no Helium is wasted so one 4m3 cylinder lasts all year at £60 ($100).
I can inflate in 4 mins ready to fly. Small increase in…"
