Registered Remote Control Dirigibles

08
Mar 2013

DockedBlimpGreetings,

This is an update on the list of registered Remote Control Dirigibles that will be providing us with sport, entertainment and thrills during the symposium, specifically at the Dirigible Races event.

We currently have 6 definite entries into the Dirigible races and/or design competition across 4 groups.

The League of Cincinnati Steampunks, The Clan of Teks, Her Majesty’s Airship Omnipotent of the glorious Unspeakable Empire of Cheviot, and The Airship Passpartout will have RC Dirigibles at the Symposium. Will YOUR group be entering a dirigible? Below is the list of transmitter types and frequencies we currently have registered for the races:

There are two 2.4 ghz transmitters (registered by Clan of Teks and Airship Omnipotent)
There are two Infra Red (IR) transmitters (registered by Airship Omnipotent)
There is one 27mhz transmitter (registered by Airship Passpartout)
There is one 49mhz transmitter (registered by The League of Cincinnati Steampunks)

It is important to note that RC vehicles that run on 2.4 ghz transmitters do NOT usually interfere with each other. The same goes for Infra Red (IR) transmitters, so if you have the choice, when you build your Dirigibles, try to find “powerplants” that use these two types of transmitters.

There are also may be other flying vehicles brought along that do not fit under the Dirigible races specifications, but that will nonetheless be cool to have flying around the symposium air field. (ornithopters, gliders, etc) If you are going to bring these kinds of things, and they are remote controlled, please let me know your transmitter type and frequency as well, we don’t want any of them interfering with the dirigible races.

There is already one such non dirigible flying contraption registered that runs 49 Mhz.

If you will be bringing a remote control flying machine to the Symposium, and if you want to enter a Dirigible into the races or design competion, please contact me on Facebook or via email  (caelyn_8 (at) hotmail.com) to register your RC flying machines. Make sure to mention “RC Dirigible Races” in the title of your email.

Thank You,
Caelyn Nagle of the Clan of Teks,
Dirigible Races Organizer for the Steampunk Empire Symposium.

Steampunk Empire Symposium Vendor Spotlight : White Pavilion Clothiers

13
Feb 2013

Today we start our Steampunk Empire Symposium Vendor spotlight! Each week we will take a look at some of the vendors that will be part of our show. We have great vendors this year that I can’t wait to show you. Each one will tempt your wallets!

White Pavilion Clothiers

“It’s clothing – not just costume.”

At White Pavilion, we understand that, for you to look your best, the clothing we provide has to look and feel natural. We not only strive to give you the perfect fit, but also well-crafted, sturdy garments of materials carefully chosen for a historically authentic look. Our philosophy is that you should be the main attraction, not what you’re wearing – and if we’ve done our job right, your ensemble will look so natural that your persona will shine. This has been our goal since our founding in 1990.

While we specialize in Medieval and Renaissance clothing, we are a design company capable of creating costumes from any era, as well as fantasy originals and movie reproductions. Our clients include celebrities, film and theater companies, religious orders and traditional organizations, street performers, and event planners (particularly for weddings). Virtually all of our products are handmade by our seamstresses and craftspeople in the USA, and are guaranteed. You will find companies with more products, but none with fairer prices, better workmanship, or a greater commitment to service than White Pavilion.
