Hello,

Does anyone know if they actually have differential thrust on the horizontal movement?

ie. can the left prop go forward while the right prop goes backwards?

Cheers

I don't know, but I have a bigger one than that by the same company. I had this one...

Don't get that airship explorer...Its a cheap little toy that barley works!!theres only certain areas that the transmitter actually transmitts to the explorer!The thing barley has any power ...it takes a long time for it to get up to speed!!...Now that you saved $18, you can give that money to me :)

has a blimp that came with three cut out paper aliens you're supposed to *rescue* with the built in hook. needless to say, it sort of works marginally.. *amazingly, it floated at the altitude I'm at *Colorado* whereas the america airship was too heavy and wouldn't float at all.*fully loaded with battery aboard.*
