Curtis Pack's "Modified Boland 41-8"
Balloon Name: "Squat"
Country : USA
Built : 2004
Shape: Modified Boland
Builders Notes:
You
will note the Shape is a bit rounder than a Boland since it is shorter in
height with the same horizontal dimensions . Each panel is 3 inches shorter
resulting in a gore length difference of 36 inches and an approximate true
volume of 38,500 cubic feet. The basket is our barrel basket design which
works well with our 38 inch wall height basket . |
