Re: [balloon-makers] Hopper Progress! - Part II

[Greg Winker <private e-mail address>]

Thanks for the update Kasey.  The list has been pretty quiet lately.  Everyone must be too busy working on projects.

 

My hopper is coming along as well.  I have the gores sew together into one piece.  Before I do up the final seam, I need to take some photo's.  Then all that's left is to install the throat and the top cap.  I've even started the paperwork for registration.

 

The rainy season is almost over and it will be time to turn my attention to flying in a couple of months.

 

Good Floating!

Greetings!

 

Not much acctivity on here for quite a while...

 

On the contrary, my balloon has made excellent progress. I finally closed up the envelope and just finished putting on mouth and vent re-inforcement loadtapes. Gotta do all the internal rigging now, and get the parachute finished up. As well as get my bottom end figured out...

 

More to come!

 

I'll have pictures of construction up somewhere sometime.

 

Have fun!

Kasey
