Fixing the Turtle Blimp creatively?
Ok everybody.... Its not unusual but my blimp has a hole somewhere in it and I cant stand it deflating.
I found holes and patched those very well. I resealed all of the knobs where it attaches to the glider and where the fins attach. After I did all that I submerged it in water and found 0 bubbles coming from anywhere. After that I covered it in soap to see it I would have any bubbles that way and again none. A day later and it still half deflates and Ive about given up. Can anyone share ideas of how they have fixed their blimps? I think if I cant make it happen I may wind up doing some very accurate measurements when it is inflated, take a large piece of foam and carve the shape of the blimp. Once I've gotten that far I will slice the top half way open, slide my sculpted shape in, and tightly seal the seam. It will eventually be "flying" on display/ handing from my ceiling. This is my absolute last resort
