Luc Geiser's zeppy

 

In 2001, determined to build his own blimp, Stephane begins research on possible predecessors. He comes across Luc Geiser, the inventor of the “zeppy” - a 12 meters length blimp that Luc built with his father in 1986.

Luc Geiser being prematurely deceased in a diving accident, Stephane buys the blimp off Luc’s father, Jean-Marc Geiser. During 3 years, Stephan will thrash about to join together the financing, the parts, the plans and people to repair and improve the zeppy which will fly again on March 2006, in Frejus
