It's simply a Blimp! with light up sign displaying "Simple Planes". Lighter than air has arrived! Throttle up, Pitch the rotors slightly forward with your VTOL controls, and enjoy the view.
Group 1 and Group 7 turn on the sign.
This is the mobile friendly version.
For those of us with P.C's Simpleblimp 2 is exactly the same but with way more fuel, which means much longer flight times.

@Gestour IK! lol
@Stingray I didnt know what I was doing 3 years ago. I'm suprised it flys at all. Lol
Not very stable. A fun design, though.
The second version of this flys better in my opinion, it's worth checking out.
I've built a couple of rigid airships as well, those do use VTOL thrusters, for obvious reasons. @MrSharp
Yes, it is weightless.
I used RCNs to turn, but all of the lift comes from the props.
@MrSharp
@Gestour Totally! it's like an New Era of Blimbs :D
Thanks for saying so, it was the most tedious part of the build. Totally worth it though.
@Othawne
The Light up word is absolutly awesome!
Awesome! @Himynameiswalrus
@Gestour no problem! I think I might follow you ;D
I'm glad you like it. :)
@Himynameiswalrus
So much better than anything I could make!
Wow!
