very cool. I free flight my envelopes only. Heard about the rc's in albequrque. Replace your bottom 2 ft w/ nomex.

hahaha, the dog barking. its so typical to hear dogs barking when hot air ballooning in real size.

very good work

nice idea

very good.

Cool concept!

wow! cool. how the ballon was made?

i love this toy i very very vant this

Oh right so I guess it has to be a real light wind, otherwise you gotta chase it, or can you keep it on a string just incase? (dangerous around power lines tho) Its an amazing balloon did you make it aswell as add the remote kit? Does it have a pilot flame of does it spark up every time you hit the on button? You should get some camera footage from above !!

Hei, really nice hot air balloon, how many cubic meters it is? And have you tested the max liftoff weight? Its is very interesting to know.

Being able to lift a propane tank is plenty impressive. Though, I felt the video was too long for what it was. I kind of expected more for 9 minutes...

Excellent work. looks like it needs either a larger envelope to carry the weight of the tank or a more powerful burner?? Pity about the burnt ripstop. Just think of it as an upgrade opportunity for a nomex skirt and scoop. ;-) Again an excellent job. Your sewing looks first rate and the cut of the material looks good and sits well. Is it a replica of the full size in the trailer off to the left?

Best toy ever!

good?! fantastic! how much did it take you to make it?

Thats all well and good, But how can you you mak it really high? and follow it and land it :L XD

That is amazing, I bet you could sell those

Itd be good to take a pet up in it wouldnt it!

What's the volume of the balloon, and how much can it lift approximately? I know it depends on the heat of the air, but aproximately.

That was a test fly? Put a litle camera on board ! Thats would be amazing :) 5/5 aniway ! Nagyon nagyon durva :)!

how did you rig the weed burner with the rc system?

how did you make it it is really cool

I would be interested in a tethered one, to lift a 2 pounds camera. I already do aerial pictures from kites and blimps, the hot air balloon would be an interesting alternative. Would you please send me a quote ? Cheers Philippe

so the gross total balloon and payloadweight is 105 ?

Why do they only fly like 10 meters from the ground?

that looks so dangerous

I f you made your own RC Hot air balloon, how hard would it be to make your own passenger hot air balloon (around 54-77,000 cubic feet)? I'm looking into this myself but don't know where to start.........and the only other pilot's I know of that have done this, I have no way to contact them for information. Would be much appriciated if you have any advice!

if you were already burning hydrogen, why not just heat water into steam to move turbines?

is the only control, flame on?

hmm a 2700 cubic volume should only lift all in all 48 pounds, that is the envelope, the fuel and the payload.. how come you said 105 unless I am miss understanding something here

is that a propane tank

But how?:)

You know what you need? HYDROGEN! and HV ignition..get her up several hundred feet and hit the spark! YEAH baby! Now THAT would make good video! I'd pay to see it!

for how much will you sell it for

Why don't you just hold that valve on and let her FLY! It is frustrating and frankly boring watching it bob up and down 10 feet off the ground! What fun is THAT???
