Remote Control Joystick = 350k easy

[BeFranklin]

How about hooking up a remote control joystick to it, so you can move it around from remote? I bet a rich donor would shell out 350k for that easily :D

It would be cool but impractical to control the airship with a joystick. What might be nearly as cool but very do-able though is that we could offer online control of a pan, tilt and zoom camera that is on the airship using a GUI through the Ron Paul blimp website. We could have people new to the message of Ron Paul watch an RP video to get a turn to control the camera for so many minutes per each video they view, or whatever other action they take that we would find beneficial to the campaign.

Excellent Idea!:D

Glad you think so trueg. It would certainly be more feasible than remote flying the blimp itself. Just so you know, people like you and I would be considered trolls around here if we were to post something relevent that could be considered an alternate view point. Unless you have 500+ posts on the forum, your automatically a troll. Just FYI.

OOHHHH. Now there is an idea: the Ron Paul Mars Rover! For $5k you can spend 15 minutes driving a golf cart on another planet! :D

Hmmm. Might have fights over who gets to play with the camera next.

Very good idea!

We can also have a contest for what ever group helps out the most gets a visit from the Blimp.
