I am unable to resist.

ratio for volume of helium to lbs force against gravity ?

YES




Thank you for sharing that information :-)

For those who were wondering, I'm not going flying in my lawn chair !!
I have some R/C gear and was contemplating building a small blimp or
dirigible. So I was wondering how large it would have to be to carry
motor, battery,
receiver and servos. Anyone ever tried this or seen one?

Fred

These are readilly available. Have been for several years.
Try one of the Indoor Flyer R/C magazines for ad's for these.

Above is a link to a google search for radio control airships. About
5000 links. Some are sure to be pertinant. Have fun!
