Excellent video! What are the specifics on this balloon? Must be homebuilt, but what about volume?

Thanks Adam! Thought you had seen everything ballooning.

Its a Homebuilt boland style. Homebuilt 74 i believe. A dream to fly but i was slightly rusty after 10months and a new balloon to wrap my mind around.

I am yet to see a Kiwi balloonsist able to leave a sheep alone in a paddock.....

Yeah, looks like a boland design.  how does the mirage burner go, does it drop a lot of water/condensation?

Pretty cool video. Loved the slo-mo stuff and the different speeds. I need to work with Twixtor some more after seeing that.

Didnt have a drop of condensation and the power to size of the burner-balloon is amazing. A short burst and it comes right out of a decent.
