Bad News. The RC Airship Regatta Torino 2009 will not take place. Not enough interest I'm afraid. The next FAI WAG will be in 2011. Johannes *Von:* "Johannes...
Excuse my English... Earlier this year, we did a memorial flight out to Pt. Sur where she was lost. There is a good chance we will do it again next year to...

Hi Kyle, the blue ship is the one from beyond-gravity.com indeed. The new envelope , a Gertler Shape (4154) with a slenderness ratio of 3.7 hat two gondolas,...
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...
