Here at The Big Balloon Festival channel we aim high - and so in response to a request from one of our subscribers - here's a lovely view of RC model balloons from a balloon meet I attended last year

yes I do
I'm having a spot of bother with mine
the balloon itself is coming together nicely
but I can't say the same about the basket, let alone the burner, I don't have the money to buy one
I'd like to make my own basket and burner, can you help me please?
I don't mean in person, I mean in video

This seems like such a relaxing and rewarding hobby. So cool.

Yep the calmest morning and evenings make for the best model ballooning weather, find a big field and play, if the wind is faster than you can run ..... prepare for a good workout

[@GabeKing-u4i]

[@TheBigBalloonFestival]

This is Sackville lodge Airfield, Bedfordshire

Have you tried piloting a model from the basket of a full size balloon?

[@TheBigBalloonFestival]

That does sound fun but no I've not tried it......yet, might be wise to tie it on a long rope to the big balloon so it doesn't find some random current and fly off in a completely different direction lol 😆
