Hi
I'm in the hunt for a pattern (like in sewing) to make my own blimp or even buy readymade. I would like build something that would carry a pair of edf50s off a GWS A10 kit .
cheers

I helped a student with one of these a year ago. We added 6 inches to the length of the bag, simplified the controls using GWS equipment, and it needed 4 oz of balast to be neutral. Flew great.
