what I want is a larger envelope so I can mount a little camera to it. is there any actual MASS in the trolley? you will have less pitch authority but if you can cut some mass from that you might get to buoyancy. can you strip off the plastic shell without affecting the guts? get rid of the dorsal and pectoral fins (few more grams) how close is it? there is a guy who converted his to 2.4ghz instead of IR and made it lighter. we really need someone to make a larger envelope to attach all this "gear" to so we can loft more mass. |

Forget all the cutesy shark stuff (in spite of my moniker), I want a zepplin with a pellet gun and video camera--with crosshairs--broadcasting to a remote display. Death from above varmint hunting! |

Hydrogen is a good idea MUCH better lifting power might even be enough. good luck keeping it filled though. Hydrogen is a pesky little bugger when it comes to leaking out of containers including straight through the side of a steel container :-) |

When natural buoyancy doesn't work, very thin fishing line and cheating the eye might but I am sorry to hear the little girl was disappointed.

Wouldn't it be cool if Jaws ate Nemo while the kids were watching? Wonder how much counciling would be involved for those kids after such an event? I too, must throw my hat in the ring as saying that was/is a cool toy. Although I think it sucks that you guys in the higher elevations are having problems. Take it to your local dentists office and see if they will fill it up and then fly it over the kiddos heads while they are getting their teeth cleaned. Would make the kids a lot less nervous while they are getting their teeth cleaned. |
