polyester thread coateed with polyester, so it wouldnt burn but be light and strong, you can get some at any sewing store
what kind of thread do you use to sew the balloon anything special
yeah, i got to inside it, have to post those pictures sometime
ive been wanting to make an rc hot air ship... theyre pretty complicated...preasurized and the controls and stuff.
do u keep the balloon in the bin
amen, glo. out here in the east pilots dont do much tailgating, but were from CA, its in our blood... no tailgating after a flight is half the fun of it... GO TAILGATING!!!
how much would you suspect the envelope would cost?

- Hi Avery, enjoyed seeing your model balloon pictures on the main page and thought it was a good time to get in touch, yes i can make you a balloon or fabric kit for any size envelope - kits are obviously easier to ship around the world ;-)
you an do cubic balloons - following on from your coments on rubic cubes, takes a fair amount of internal formering to get it right and i've not seen one done sucessfully from a corner point :-)
is that an airship model i spotted on your pictures above?

Alejandro Garcia said… - Hello,
Sorry for my late response.
I have a lighter fabric for make the envelope. .5oz feet2
I will try next week.
I use a tissue paper balloon of 6m3 and works great.
I already have the draw too.
I will let you know the status.
Best Regards,
Alex

- Hi Avery,
sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. I've been busy down here in Oz. If you'd like to get an idea where I am, do a google earth search for 24 Reserve Street, Claremont, Western Australia (that will show you the house I lived in growing up.
Anyway, congratulations on building the model balloon, it looks great! I bet it was a lot of work, but ultimately, very satisfying when you got done. Are you going to bring it to Statesville with you?
I liked your balloon design, very cool, especially with the star sticking in (while it come out from the surface of the envelope, like an appendage?) You could add some yellow panels around the outside, like a shockwave coming out of the impact site.

A envelope is 810 Euro for a 20 m³ single colored gores.
It would be good the have the radio to set up the valves correctly.
We have equipped the first model with a 2.4GHz radio and it works very well.
1,5 km distance in a car and still working fine, and more channels to use.
That could help us at our meet because we are getting to the limits with
60-65 model balloons and not much more channels available in the old
frequency band.

- G'Day Avery, nice work on the RC balloon your very clever.
Was at an RC flying club on the weekend and we used a 100cc petrol rc plane to inflate the model balloon ;-)
I am working on a turbine jet model at the moment and want to see if it will inflate the model just for a laugh. Will video it.
I am also into RC heli's boat and cars but jet turbines are my favorite at the moment.

Sorry, just catching up on stuff. I haven't been on the computer much. CONGRATS ON THE RC! LOOKS AWESOME! I'm looking at the pictures and looks like everything went perfect! And the burner turned out well?
I am very impressed! Looks awesome. Hope to fly ours side by side soon!
Again, Congrats. Looks great.
Soft Landings,
Daniel
