From the creator of the Proper Quadcopter, comes its' succesor, the Proper Zeppelin!
Take command of the giant whale of the sky!
Controls are simple; VTOL controls the engine pitch, roll controls the airship's rudder, and pitch controls airship pitch. Real airships lack a roll control, so if you tip yourself (somehow...), good luck. The whale is slow and massive (over 700 feet long!), a graceful sight. Top speed is less than 30mph.
Warning: The tail begins fluttering wildly above 50mph, and never-exceed speed is 65mph. If you wanna put some bigger engines on this thing, go ahead, but you'll need to either upgrade the tail or stay slow.
