6. Using and X-Acto knife or similar razor
knife, carefully cut a 4 mm slot for the
antenna to pass through the body of the
Tri-Turbofan gondola. Be sure that the
antenna will completely clear the central
propeller rotation path.
(Fig 5.10)
7. Gently feed the central antenna wire through
this slot to allow it to protrude through the
Tri-Turbofan gondola. Again, check to be
sure that the antenna will completely clear
the central propeller rotation path
(Fig 5.11)
8. Figure 5.12 shows how the installation
should look when you are done.
(Fig 5.12)
9.
Re-attach the Tri-Turbofan to the inflated
52" Blimp balloon
10. Adjust ballast weights (plasticine putty
works well) as needed to achieve neutral
buoyancy of the fully assembled airship.
11. Turn on the power to the Tri-Turbofan and
Transmitter, and you are ready to launch
your own ‘Eye in the Sky Blimp Cam’!
