You're implying that there wouldn't be transport and other logistical
costs, it doesn't matter which way you go it isn't going to be free to
go from place to place etc etc etc
Instead of a toy/rc blimp, maybe it might be practical to make a full
size one. You could have living quaters, internet connectivity and so
on and so forth :)
Maybe you could pick up a second hand one on the cheap :)
