Thanks Ian.
i read, "To achieve approximately 700 grams of free lift, a 100-gram
balloon will take about 40 cubic feet of helium. To achieve 900 grams
of free lift, a 300-gram balloon will need about 70 cubic feet of helium."
Does that sound right? If so, lifting a kg requires about 2 100-gram
balloons?
