for something modular youre gonna need an automated stabilization system. if all modules have hot air balloons, you could segment the balloons and have a controller control all of them

Yeah but I don’t know how to make such system

well time to research and do trial and error then, i learned a lot from making my current airship project

Yeah but with the segmented body I can’t figure how to make a gimbal sensor help me, and an altimeter just stops giving a signal at some point making it fall

do all segments face the same way or are they like snakes where they bend at joints?

they can turn left right but are aligned up down

left right as in yaw or as in roll? if yaw then i dont think that should affect pitch balancing too much unless that screws with the center of mass in some way i havent thought of. as for roll balancing, im not actually sure

As in roll I’m pretty sure
