Hey all, I have been asked by my church if I could do dome aerial video work for them at an up coming event. They first asked if my airplane would be able to fly in a 800 person arena. I said it could, but it would end up hitting a wall and fall onto people. I did mention to them that I have a multi rotor that might work, but I now think it would be to risky. If an engine went on it or if anything happened to it, it would not end well.
I am now thinking on building a rc blimp to carrie my GoPro and FPV gear. I have looked at some commercial rc blimps you can rent or buy, but they are up there in the price range.
I have found some formulas and numbers on how many liters of helium it takes to pick up so many grams (1 gram per liter)
I am now trying to figure out how the programming would go on my Spektrum DX7?
I am thinking 4 motors, two for forward/backward movement, one on the tale for turning, and one on the bottom for elevation control.
How would you set the motors up on your radio? I'm almost thinking I would set it up like a helicopter on my transmitter? I would be able to use the pitch curves to make the motors go forward and reverse.
Any suggestions/advice would be helping me out a lot.
Thanks,
Maxwell
