Outdoor blimps are very expensive – at least $5k. In any case, you can use GPS waypoints for navigation.
I’m kinda half working on an aircraft that can fly to a friend in the next town over. I figure i might as well use a blimp so I at least know it won’t dive bomb. Is there a way to make the blimp follow Google Earth or something? Maybe with an Arduino or something?
There is an 800mAh 7.4V Lipoly battery pack in the gondola
What are you using for a power source?
You’re video is way too interesting! haha pretty cool i might add. but yes, i hope that i see more videos like this ! you have some real interesting topics
would be simpler just to move the camera… but i understand you, you are just testing to control the whole blimp movement. interesting thing, you may upgrade then to a bigger whale
