Anyone able to inspect the new Firefly Maxflite yet? just curious about it...Fireflys in the area that I fly are the least common balloon system present, so I don't see a lot of them up close. Any opinions? 2.4 oz sounds heavy, but durable to me.

Lance, I understand where your coming from about fabric, but heavier fabric doesn't always necessarily mean that its going to last longer than lighter fabrics. Not that I am doubting Head's 1.9 oz fabric or envelope. I fly the same weight of fabri...

About Me:

My name is Ben and I currently reside in Northeast Ohio. I am an Art teacher at Marlington Local Schools in Alliance, OH where I teach art and digital photography. I am a fairly new pilot and received my Private license in September 07. I try to fly as often as I can in between work and other activities. I hope to be commercial in the next two years and would like to get into homebuilding someday down the road.

I'd definitely like to fly in it, not sure what you have to do to get an invitation though. I learned a ton from the team I was crewing on this year and it got me really excited about flying competition. I need to fly in some smaller events probably before stepping up to that level to have a chance at doing well. Planning on going in some way or another next year anyway I hope.
