For 4 tank baskets, you can get by with a 3.9, but a 4.9 will give you the most room. A 4.9 will comfortably fit pilot and 2 or 3 easily. Pilot and 2 is about it in a 3.9. They are the same weight really so there's not much advantage in the smalle...
OK, i thought i have seen some, i just want sure. so im thinking of carrying 2-3 passengers. i know 90,000 cu ft works well for that, what size TBW basket would i need. id like 4 tanks.
Well lets see, liquid propane is just as safe as vapor, just a little colder. When you see really yelow flames at glows there burning liquid and its not quite as strong, but still works. In model balloons almost all of the commonly bought LPG tank...
also avery i am saying this to everyone
it is a cool site i made it
well the rest of it looks pretty light
does anyone have maybe a pattern or any tips on rc thermal airship of 800- 1000 cu ft? anything is greatly apperciated.

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

Andy Marshall said… - 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?

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
