Balloon release

A balloon flight competition is a competition in which it is necessary to send balloon post over the largest possible distance. As the flight of the balloons used can not be controlled is the result - if all launched balloons are well filled with hydrogen or helium - depending on the wind conditions and the probability that the balloon is found at Niedergangsort.

It is very important not to over- fill the balloon, because otherwise he reached too quickly to great heights and bursts through the air pressure is decreasing. In addition, it is useful to start the balloon in the evening before dark, because he thereby much longer stays in the air.

Attention is drawn to aviation security legal provisions.
