Hi Dominik, Thanks for posting the additional pictures. I had always wanted to see more details about the beyond-gravity thermal blimp but could not see much...
Oh, I forgot to mention that I have added a rudder to the lower fin on my blimp since those pictures were taken. Originally I thought just having two motors...
Hallo Michael, ich hatte vor einigen Jahren Kontakt zum Erbauer des Gefa-Modelles, das ist ihm aber wohl etwas über den Kopf gewachsen. Schön, daß es doch...
Hi Kyle, I tried a rudder in the fin as well. But the height adjustment of a unmanned thermal airship is not easy (and I know how to fly a real balloon). Due...
Hi Dominik, It seems even today most innovation in airships still comes from Germany! It is good to see other people building RC thermal blimps, maybe one day ...
... Dominik, off course I do. This could become a new RC Airship Regatta Class. Since hot air blimps somehow exceed 1 cbm boxvolume, and these are outdoor...
Hi Kyle, I hope there will be more RC thermal airships around. But I am in this project for some years (of course with many interuptions ) and have seen...
Hi Pack, Philip, Gerhard, Tina and I made the trip to Torino for the FAI WAG (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale World Air Games). Because we were so...
Hallo Luftschiffer, (english below) Die Lange Nacht der Lufschiffregatta und Wissenschaften ist nun schon über eine Woche her. Alle Luftschiff sind ordentlich...
Hallo Luftschiffer, ich hatte mit Phillip beim letzten Luftschiffrennen darüber geredet, daß man mal einen Dauer "flug" Wettbewerb veranstalten müßte. ...
Hallo Luftschiffler, die Idee eines Dauerflugs finde ich für das Publikum nicht interessant und glaube bezüglich des Zeitfaktors, dass das keine so gute Idee...
Hi all, Erich proposed a new way to evaluate the overall efficiency of an airship concept. Idea is to compare the 'transport power' and 'battery power'. It's a...
Hi all again, Lars argued a duration flight wouldn't be that interesting for spectators, and that pushing LiPo batteries to the limit could even be dangerous....
Hi all, Andreas uploaded the new version of the Series 58 profile generator, see: http://www.airshipworld.info/software/2009/08/generator-v06-available/ ...
Thanks for the announcement Johannes, I want to add one more thing. I am always looking for new Ideas to add to the generator and for bug reports. So please...
(English version see below) Hallo zusammen, am Donnerstag, 24.09.2009, 19 Uhr halte ich einen Vortrag im Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen, hier die ...
Hallo everyone here, I am planning to build one airship and i have a little knowledge of the area but not much. I will be really thankful if some could help me...
Hello Flying bird, welcome in our yahoo group. I'm afraid "the detailed procedure of design" does not exist, or better: differs from design to design. I tried...
Hello Johannes, Thank you so much for the kind reply. Could you please tell me something about Series58 Shape Generator? What is prismatic coefficient? Rest of...
Thanks Johannes once again, Now almost everything is clear to me. I will work out with this design problem and quickly start the construction work. I will be...
Hello Flying Bird, from your postings requesting a 'design pocedure' I conclude that this will be your very first airship, right? Up till now this thread was...
Hey luftschipper,  Such a lively reply  thank you for the reply.  As you have rightly pointed out, I was also looking for the step by step procedure which...
Hi Flying Bird, for an outdoor design, I feel that for sufficient pitch control a elevator is mandatory. Vertical thrust works fine in calm indoor conditions,...
Hello Flying bird. All these informations are very interesting. When I made my own rc airship, I followed a simple process by using the "airship design4.xls"...
Hello Luftschipper, Thanks for the guidance again. Could you pls tell me whether I should go for single motor or with two motors? Your point is valid for the...
Hello Denis, I have checked that file, its true we will not need any other help, that file gives all the information required. I am new to this group, who has...
Hi Flying Bird, one aspect that may help to find a decision wether to use one or two motors might be the fact that, the more power you want- or have to- apply,...
