Default Lighter than air...

MY experiments show that Lift Fairies just love helium!
It's light and fluffy, and tickles their noses.

Don't understand how feathers enter into the question of lift. I've seen
references to both
lift demons and lift fairies and neither have feathers. Demons wings are
leather sails like
those of pterasaurs or bats and fairy wings are like those of dragonflies.
That should lay to rest the obviously false theory of feathery antigravity
forces. Now helium dependent lift fairys, hmmmm, or even hydrogen generating
lift demons, well, that raises some intersting possubilities. No, no, I
don't think so, it totally confuses the lighter than air craft and the
heavier than air craft hierarchies. its just too confusing.(snG)
