Re: Derigibles
Okay........
I'll take a lesson in lighter-than-air stuff. What's the difference in the two? WT

Re: Derigibles
Could you use Carbon fiber rod to build the structure and ripstop nylon to cover it?

Re: Derigibles
Density Altitude. Your biggest foe when it comes to operating DIRIGIBLES. It's a friggin science that everyone seems to think is real easy to do. I still have that 22 ft airship for sale in the swapshop. I think it needs a great big FLYING GIANTS logo on the envelope. Or at least an Eat at Joe's sign.
