12 m outdoor RC Blimp is a culmination of more than a decade of intensive and dedicated work on
previous RC Blimps of various sizes. The growing need for payload and airtime resulted in a
design ...
of a 12 m RC Blimp that can carry 3 to 4 kg and have a 60+ minute's flight time. To assure
previously stated we have developed side vectored motors in carbon fiber housing. This way the
lateral drive force is giving much more stability to the ship. Besides original lateral motors
we
have developed several safety sets requested by German officials to enable the airship to pass
the
registration process. Such as RC Safety valve, RC safety bobbin, detached back battery, new
”rail
system”, and several new and improved designs.
The initial spark to actually start the work on it was a request for TVN Germany. Their request
was
maneuverability on North German winds, clear bottom of the blimp for HD cameras and air time.
Consequently we offered and built an airship with side positioned motors. The result is that the
12
m Airship can fly on winds up to 15 km⁄h and wind gusts up to 20 km, achieve max speed of
60
km⁄h
and still be able to hover when needed. It was used on many occasions across Germany and other
countries fulfilling the requested task with no remarks.
With our 12 m RC Blimp you can be sure that you are going to be noticed and that the job will be
done. We strongly recommend that an expert RC pilot control the airship during flight.

*We reserve the right to alter the setting accordant to new available electronics and
technologies
to make better quality RC Blimps.
Compliant to FAA and EASA Drone and Blimp Safety Regulations: The 2 m RC Blimp has all safety design features. Protected propeller housing, high quality envelope that can stand much higher internal pressure than needed, extremely low helium permeability and other related. More at SAFETY REGULATIONS
