You might start by listing what functions you want this board to perform. Do you have an RF receiver ?

Well, you could make it out of Balsa, but there is also Maple, Birch, Walnut… Take your pick.

And I was expecting to be reprimanded … you make a zeppelin out of balsa, a blimp has no rigid frame/structure. :slight_smile:

You can tell I’m not into blimps/zeppelins… lol

I am looking for is a simple circuit board that would make it to go up down right left and maybe put GPS on it I have a 4 channel transmitter and receiver it is going to be a helium balloon

OK, I assume you have a 4 channel Tx and Rx rig. Exactly how do you intend to control the blimp ? Are you going to have DC motors (and props) to power it Fwd/Rwd/Right/Left ? Are you going to have motors to go up and down or are you dropping weights or what ? Why not go the normal ESC route ?

How do you intend to use the GPS ?

You’re going to have to offer up much more detail if you want specific help.
