I just heard that the DPA Windpac will sell for a whopping $750 or
thereabouts. This is quite a bit more than I expected.

It does deal with the problem of storing/transporting a zeppelin, or
seems to. Depends on how well made it is.

But, I'm not a fan of smooth outer surfaces. They can create their own
noises from the wind. And the ribs may create eddies that will cause
noise. Just have to wait and see. It could, of course, be covered with a
furry outer cover.

The big question is price.
