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…"

"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 All
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 and…"
"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…"
"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…"
We've been developing this RC airship over the past two years. Features include 1 hr Endurance, 3-5 amp battery, 400g payload, camera gimbal, FPV, Low vibration, crash survivable, Helium recovery and storage after each day of use.Some videos:…
