SAFETY ISSUES

The Outdoor Radio Controlled Blimp operates much like other radio controlled model aircraft, using similar engines, fuel, batteries and servos. The programmable radio transmitter and dual receiver is free from any type of frequency interference including RF noise. The blimp is flown upwind so that if one engine fails there is still enough power to fly safely downwind to your setup area. It is also flown “heavier than air” so that if both engines fail it will come down and not float around as a hazard to full size aircraft.
The blimp has two separate envelopes. An Outer "non-laminated" rip-stop nylon shell and an inner polyurethane helium holding bladder. Everything is attached to the outer nylon shell with no direct stress on the inner helium bladder. This offers the maximum operating durability and safety.
Flying operations require a NOTAM (Notices To Airmen) as directed by Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia (DCA). A NOTAM is issued by DCA to inform pilots of new or changed of aeronautical services, procedures, hazards etc.
All our blimps are filled with the inert gas helium. Helium gas is non-flammable, non-combustible and non-toxic. Since it is a compressed gas, the only danger comes from the improper handling of the cylinders when moving them or improperly using the pressure regulator.
