SkySurfer Blimp

1,235 PikaPal  4.8 years ago

I am starting a new series called the SkySurfer series. This series will be made out of aircraft/vehicles that you don't see too often here on SP. Yes, this does mean I will be reposting my GyroCopter(You'll probably see it pop up sometime tomorrow). However, I will be revamping it to be more detailed, have the SkySurfer colors and insignia. This blimp will be number 1 in the series. It moves just like a real blimp which is slow and light. The cruising altitude is ~6,000-7,000 ft.

(1 & Vtol up) Provides lift for the blimp.
(2 & Throttle up) Provides foward acceleration for the blimp.
(3) Turns on exterior underside lights.
