Goodyear-Zeppelin GZ-20 Blimp

7,801 NorthwestIndustries  6.9 years ago

Here it is! The first ever replica of the Goodyear Blimp on SimplePlanes! It's almost 1.2 scale, and flies realistically for its scale!

Instructions: throttle to 52-55 for level flight, vtol up for forward thrust. Throttle to mid 40s and AG-1 with yaw for ground steering. Use trim lightly for up and down movements

Ps. I need help with the lettering.

Spotlights

    @ACMECo1940 wow! I've always loved airships and it's been my dream to see one! They never come to Canada so consider yourself lucky.

    @ForeverPie yeah, they retired all the GZ-20s in favour of the Zeppelin NTs

    Didn't Goodyear retire one of their blimps?

    @BurkeEnterprise And the objects that achieve lettering cause asymmetric drag in this Jundroo game. Still try letters if you like.

    Yeah, @Stingray but it would Complete the replica though

    Excellent! Lettering is arbitrary.
