First off, I'd like to give all credit to Katrina for the original idea of a blimp. I have finally finished as much as I can of the blimp. Due to the fact that I am doing this on an IPod, I cannot do any more testing to make it fly well. I would gladly appreciate your ratings and comments on what I have been able to do. I hope some of you that build on computers will take up the challenge of making this beast fly. Game on!

    Great job with this, it doesn't matter that it doesn't fly yet. If I find a bit of time I'll have a play around with it. As has been suggested, it only needs just enough power to lift up and move slowly like a real blimp.

    Thanks for the suggestions but I use an iPod, so the game crashes all the time, I've only been able to load the simulation once. So I'm really hoping someone with a computer will be able to fix the propulsion for me. I simply placed propulsion guessing the right positions based on the three centers. T@BoxGlow

    Stars for competition win, plus nice looking blimp. Can't help make her fly as on android but as The previous comments say. Remove the jets, add just enough vtol to lift her up, and some props to get her moving. Looks cool if u hide it all internally too. Connect everything with pylons. Can't wait to see you ors someone make it fly

    I want to see it fly like a blimp... remove all regular jets and some VTOL engines to make the blimp lighter.. remove fuels until its just enough for a few VTOLS and some props...balance the vtols well.. good luck!
