This is just a example of my previous build: (https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/MZatgj/Gyro-propulsion) Can just add modded engines these ones are too weak. This thing doesn't use any gyros for stabalising - only for the propultion. Quite cool, acts like helium.

    I usually slap some engines on the inside and make them VTOL for buoyancy in air but I guess this would work.
