Default Legal? - SPOT Helium Balloon Race

Hi,

This was a crazy idea I had that my son thought would be a lot of fun. *The
question is whether or not it is legal or advisable.


I assume you paid for the free replacement contract and want to see
how effective it is

If I was going to launch the balloons I'd rather not have anything
traceable to me attached to them.

I've been startled by party balloons when flying power planes in the
Phoenix area. They wouldn't hurt if I hit one. I don't relish the
idea of getting a spot through the prop or windshield.

My take - don't do it. If you have to do it, don't do it anywhere I
could be flying.

Andy
