WOW! This is so cool to see. I'm surprised I haven't seen this elsewhere on the internet. I hope this channel grows!

I thought this was just in my stoned out mind, that is frickin awesome. Great job

Hi again,
Where do you find those very small tiny carabiners for RC models?
Thanks a lot.

[@blakehamilton8720]

Hey!!! Awesome looking balloon. Would you happen to have the plans? I would like to build one just like this. I’d be willing to pay for them too.

[@jsteward2008]

Hey Blake, yes email me at [e-mail] and we can talk more.

Hi, I am making a tiny hot air balloon and I am looking for tiny carabiners and don’t know where to find them.
Any idea?
And also which type of cables do you use to attach the basket to the envelope?
Cheers!

Do you have a supply list for your basket construction?

[@doener-at-home]

where did you buy the ballon please ... ?

[@jsteward2008]

I build the envelopes myself. Here is a link to free instructions from cameron balloons: www.cameronballoons.co.uk/articles/build-your-own-model-hot-air-balloon

How do you change your direction?

[@jsteward2008]

Just like with real hot air balloons, climbing to different altitudes gives you different directions

@@jsteward2008 Thanks for the information 😊, that makes sense because I once filmed a timelaps of the sky and I saw that the lower clouds were going east and the higher ones were going west.
