What you mean with this :
“…I would highly recommend using a delta wing configuration or a glider setup. A blimp is pretty much a giant sail in the sky from the winds perspective and most PC grade engines…”
Well im just analyzing all possibilities and checking how i can do it , what is possible, what i can do, what i cant do, what is impossible, etc… so i can draw a line between where i can go and where i cant go.
I don’t disagree with showing the horizons and all that. My only point is that in this case, simpler is definitely better. If somebody who had never programmed before asked you about design patterns, would you get into specifics or would you tell them to try some basic Hello World tutorials first? In this case, a balloon is Hello World.
Im not doing by myself. I will have people helping me with those other issues.

I seriously wish you the best of luck, and I really would love to see you accomplish this. But even if you have help, starting simpler is never a bad idea. Think about it this way: we tell people it’s a bad idea to start game development by trying to create their dream MMORPGFPS game. Instead, we tell them to start with Pong and work their way up. All I’m suggesting is that you start with Pong before you try creating a semi-autonomous drone that can achieve low space flight, haha.
Sorry, I meant to type RC engines, not PC engines. If the question had to do with delta wings, then it’s basically a triangular airframe without a tail; popular because of ease of building and load distributions.
