Re: Airship plans

My pleasure. The design was made to be built in lots of sub assemblies (wall and railing panels). This lets us move the parts up to our off-season event later, and also let us split up the work amongst a dozen team members during our build party. The downside of this approach is that almost all of the studs are doubled, so it's probably a bit beefier and expensive than it needs to be.

We came up with a really cheap gear lift that works well with this airship - I'll post drawings sometime soon. If you find a good way to attach Davits let me know!
