I'm new to this forum and just decided to join in since I know the answer to the questionĪfter having used the first iPad I finally got tired of it being soooo slow and got the new one. The weight of the entire equipment, In cIud i ng bag, rir f ing, basket and propeller mechanism, is only 125 pounds.

This balloon has been undergoing extensive tests in the vicinity of Dayton, makI ng both day and night flights. With this new feature of control it has been found possible to make a quick get-away from most any location without the necessity of weighing off dangerously lif~t, as.

The object in bringing out this special piece of lighter-t~an-air equipment is an attempt to fulfill a hlilitary need for a sraa.L'l and inexpensive balloon to give training to students in ballvoning and parachute jumping, and to provide an economical means for testing newIy developed meteorological Lnst rurnerrts, Parachute landings can easily be simulated with this equipment by using a regular ~~rachute harness and controlling the descent by the use of the propeller, Which involves the same principle as the gradual applicat ion of the bnake s of a motor vehicle going down a steep grade. Some of the tests which have been conducted with this new equipment include ~the following: ~ 1.
