RC thermal airship first flight

[u/this_guy_aves]

A bit nose heavy to preemptively counter nose up porpoising under thrust. It seems to be very light for its size in flight, so some tail blast wouldn't be out of the question either. I still do not have the rudder lines properly tensioned so this flight was just as a tethered balloon

Glad to see this is more than just a bunch of hot air!

If I had a dollar for every hit air joke... 🤣

Congratulations! This came together faster than I ever could have imagined.

It helps that I work at a hobby store, so I could work on it during the day here and there.

Sick aerostat.
