enjoy the thrills of lighter than air aviation. drift through the sky's. marvel at the pusher prop technology. to use....keep at 100% throttle, use the vtol nozzles (keep to near vertical) as fore and aft balance (pitch) keep an eye on the speed, flies best at 70-110mph all other controls are as normal. detacher 3 to drop the "ropes" (landing gear) after take off. detacher 1 for "oh the humanity" Not found a nice way to add gear for landing, was thinking of a tower with agdynamics decoupler device but couldnt build due to lag. worked hard to make it fly like a zeppelin would. *please rate, comment and check out my other contraptions. thank you*

    Maybe you should ask the developer for hot gas bags that float.with that u can make it better.but it's already pretty good.

    Fantastic! Acts as one would hope to for a slow-moving zeppelin that floats over mountains, explores shorelines in high detail, and buzzes the carriers at 400 feet ASL. Doubt this will run on tablets/phones. This is an iMac review.

    Wee baby, I'd love too but already suffering the dreaded cruddy tab lag on it, but if u wanna have a go at modding it, please do. Would love to see it.

    A-Mazing.....I love how it floats, it flies like a blimp. I say push the design of the wings to be shaped more like a big zeppelin, like the Hindenburg. A bunch of tiny square wings that together form a round shape. It would be painstaking like a ConSon build, but it would be awesome to see . Still amazing that it flies!

    Thank you nassassin. Means heck of a lot coming from a top designer like yourself. Your bugs are amazing. I made it deliberately underpowered so it would fly slow like a zeppelin would. Again, thank you.

    This is pretty fun to play with. 4 stars because it needs a bit more power to make it over the mountains, + 1 bonus star for innovation. Great work!
