Praxair is where the FLG fill all our welding tanks. Not sure if they carry the full range of gasses or just welding. Worth looking into, I suppose.<div><br></div><div>Christie<br clear="all">_______<br>Getting to the bottom of the hill is convenient. The view from the top of the hill is stunning.

A damn heavy box has just arrived, containing what I presume to be the<br>
two 8' balloons I ordered. I'll bring them to Noisebridge this evening<br>
and secure some shelf space for us - not that we can do anything<br>
useful with them just yet, but maybe it's time to look into acquiring<br>
a cylinder of helium.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><div><br>There's a gas tank market 'Helium' in the Noisebridge shop along the East wall. I don't know how full it is, but I think that Andy was using it for UAV projects, therefore he may know more info about it such as where the regulator is.<br>

Also, for light reading (really!):<br>
<a href="http://www.eoss.org/pubs/far_annotated.htm" target="_blank">http://www.eoss.org/pubs/far_annotated.htm</a> is FAR 101 shorn of all<br>
non-balloon-related cruft, and footnoted by EOSS (Edge Of Space<br>
Sciences, who do lots of this) as to their understanding and<br>
experience with the FAA as to how it all works in practice.<br>
<br>
I propose we aim for first week of February for a launch. What say?<br>
