Mike,I don’t think we really needed them did we 😀 I forgot you were talking about doing this when we were discussing the DC20s. Thanks for getting me straight on the tracking basics….. I forgot to introduce myself, you were…   Read more»

Bottle Size – Volume – Fill Cost – ($/cuft)Q 66 cuft $36.30 ($.55/cuft)M 110 cuft $89.60 ($.81/cuft)H 219 cuft $129.40 ($60/cuft)L 356 cuft $147.23 ($.41/cuft)It is cheaper then petrol, can we get our cars to run on it? 🙂

if you guys need a digital fill whip, I have one set up for O2, HE and AR transfills. I’m certified to play w/ up to 100% O2 and do fills. I don’t know what kid of setup you would…   Read more»

My understanding on the helium supply was that most of it is currently in storage and only gets added to by production. I have never verified this, but that is what is taught/discussed in the Tech Diving world. I was…   Read more»

Biggest expense is helium which has gone up radically in price over the last couple years. FYI, Here’s a quote on Helium that I got from Wagner Welding Supply in Longmont. They supply Argon for my TIG welder.(bottle lease is…   Read more»

Yeah, I get my Argon and Argon/CO2 mix from the same place. Interesting thing, ALL helium production is tied to natural gas, but only a few natural gas fields produce significant quantities of helium. The US has been the world’s…   Read more»

Very handy. I assume those are…[Read more]

Believe it or not, I have a ultra high altitude balloon project I’ve been working on – meant to go to over 100K at least at some point of the project. I have a slew of websites to check into…   Read more»

I’ll see if I have a Parrot I could loan for this experiment. The DC20 data can be recorded somehow, right? We could compare GPS altitude vs. barometric altitude. The Parrot will record for about 30 minutes.

Boy, you guys are right! As bad as yesterday must have been–I asked Joe if it was windy yesterday, he said don’t ask, today was a great as yesterday was bad. Cliff earned his L3, as did Jon Scuba, among…   Read more»
