Hi Tom,

that sounds amazing!
I myself am thinking about a hybrid between airship and drone. The former for the main lift and the latter for stability and manouvrability while keeping the area of attack for wind as lower than with a traditional airship. 

Are you a Metalab regular?

Hi Markus,

I am working to use electroaerodynamic propulsion with an airship:

I have tried ArduPilot some time ago but settled for Raspberry Pi
and PERL instead. I have code to read many sensors (Accelerometer,
Barometer, GPS, Gyroscope, Magnetometer, Power, Therometer) and
would only need a few hours to control a boat or an airship with
two thrusters.

I would be interested to join the flying things workshop so please
let me know.

Tom
