I have long cherished the dream of flying an RC Airship - specifically a WW 1 Zeppelin. I know they are available abroad. MPP was kind enough to gift me some material which can be used to build an airship. I have lovingly stored it away. Maybe someday.....

I have been looking at the Blimpduino, ever since I strayed on the diydrones.com site for the quad controller stuff.

The first time I saw RC airships in action was in 1999 when they were used to drop prize coupons into the audience (seated in a stadium) during an all-hands meeting at the company I was working at that time.
