RC Semi Scale Dirigible N? 9 " La Balladeuse"

[Guga]

Celebrating the 100th year since the Brasilian Santos D´umont flew around the Eiffel tower in Paris in 1903, with his dirigible #6.

I decided to make a Kit of his airship #9, for the serious and master RC airmodelist.

This kit is no longer available... but I do have the plans and information that a experienced modeller can construct it with no problems at all.

The single motor uses a very simple 2 servo vectoring sistem...
The 2 meter (7ft) envelope is very easily found in the market which I can give directions where to get it.
Also the PWM (ESC) that controls the motor is easy to find in the market...
any one that may be interested make a reply here and I will be glad to give you the Info...

So see bellow the PDF plans for the Gondola already in the full size (you can print it at (KINKO´s)
and also in TILE so you can print it at home...:)

Guga, That's a great ship, very generous of you to provide the plans for it. That's the kind of model I like to build. It may be my first blimp model. Is that you in the photo above? (whoever it is, he looks....... Brazilian!) Joe

Hi Joe...
That is me allright...:innocent:

If you need to know anything about constructing this blimp let me know...
I can teach you how to make an Esc for it and motor very simple with the materials you take out off one normal servo.
And also give you links where to get an envelope for this size blimp 2meters (7ft) right there in the US...:)
