[Balloon-makers] Singer Oiling and Gremlins

[Jon Radowski]

Hi Sandy,

http://www.apexballoons.com/racers/

This shape which I've designed is roughly similar to the Cameron
ZL-series. Shown is a 69,000 cu. ft. envelope using 60" tall
horizontal panels.

I haven't built one yet for lack of time, but I'm planning on making a
69k for myself over this winter when work gets a little lighter. If
you'd like help designing your own, or just want a set of patterns
(for any volume and/or fabric roll width), I'd be glad to provide
assistance either way.


Soft Landings,
Jon Radowski
