BZ-1 prototype (amazing dirigable)

7,746 NorthwestIndustries  6.4 years ago

The BZ-1 prototype was originally (and still is)a crap-build but after the first test I knew I was up to something.

Instructions: throttle to 63%-65% (usually 64% for stable flight)
VTOL up for propellers and trim to adjust pitch.

For best results, use trim for gaining and losing altitude.

    @DrNic here's a tip: use weightless fuselage blocks. The ones on this work great
