This is Katharine from the Ron Paul Blimp and I just wanted to let you all know that we are back from a Christmas day break and working on a lot of blimp related tasks. One of our highest priorities is providing answers to your questions. We have made note of those questions that we have not answered before and those that consistently come up in emails and threads and hope to post answers soon.

If you have a question that you have not seen asked before please feel free to post it in the blimp folder here or email us at [email protected].
 
Will the blimp travel the I-95 corridor from Savannah to Jacksonville?

I am in Brunswick and would like some pictures.
 
Welcome back Blimp Team Hope you had a Wonderful Christmas!

Now let's make something happen!

Yes, please do keep all of us "grounded" R.P. supporters informed.

There have been a great deal of negative threads and replies regarding the Blimp, that it seems as if those people can't get their heads around the simple facts that:

1) THE BLIMP IS A REALITY!
2) Blimps need ideal weather conditions.
3) The F.A.A. has its regulations.
4) The "r[EVOL]ution" blimp isn't lighted at night.

A lot of us understand that maintaining/planning/flying a blimp is no easy task. But, for those who just don't get it - or just simply yearn for correspondence from the Blimp folks - PLEASE provide more insight to the Blimp's and the folks' daily plans/activities. And I don't mean in just these forums, but also in the Blimp's blogs...

I am listening but we do not yet have a business Paypal account and are looking into the feasibility of using another account. I have said "more info. soon" enough times that I figured you wouldn't want to hear it again. :-)
 
just keep that blimp flying, obviously this is the first time for a blimp to be part of a campaign so this is new territory, just keep it fun and productive for the supporters...

Nice long list of questions from someone waiting for you to answer before he gives $5000.. but you have to go to a forum you don't visit-- Blimp Q&A. It isn't looking too good that the sub-forum Blimp Q&A has filled up with lots of questions, and the only semi-answers being provided are from "Official" / "Self-Appointed" Blimp Volunteers.

"Soon" in Blimpspeak= before the proton decay of the universe.
 
Hey I have a little suggestion which might be worth more as time goes by. Notice how your graph is showing the total from day one.. as the total grows the appearance of the graph makes any additional growth less and less noticeable. Maybe weekly or monthly charts would provide more accurate feedback of recent donation patterns. I think Ron Paul's donation success has been boosted quite a bit by people feeling they can make a difference. Just an idea which can provide some encouraging feedback on donation patterns. I know not much new in the way of donations lately but I think as the blimp generates more interest and enthusiasm as it moves south this graph adjustment will pay off.

My #1 Question:

Do days in the hangar count against total blimp flying time?

We have already been credited for 3 days because of the banner repairs that had to be done. So at this point the first month full month should end around the 17th or 18th of January.

Can someone tell me how to get the feed for the GPS lat/long/altitude of the blimp? I made a 3D model and an self updating kml file for Google earth. I wrote a script that parses the lat/long from the ronpaulblimp.com website but I am unable to get altitude from it. I'm having trouble deciphering the javascript for the altitude function.

I'm trying to have a real time blimp tracker for Google earth. I'm the person who made the blimp wars video. So if anyone can hook me up with someone who could get me that information for the GPS feed that would be fantastic. It's really cool, and I'll host it and promote it. I think it would be an awesome novelty and it may go super nova.

Very Important... please contact me: [email protected]
