I know it's not officially supported, but I thought it might work to some extent. It'd be convenient, but I'm sure it won't work the way it should.

I've put an order in for the Mega R3. Do they have the same serial issue?
AFAIK they don't. You'll have to go in and manually change the baud rate in the LIFA package, which isn't hard to do.

I wouldn't recommend this for a blimp though because there is no failsafe. If you lose communication, then your blimp will be on the run. Robots on the run are much easier to catch and disable than a flying blimp.
