1997 Lindstrand 77A

Lindstrand 77A Envelope. This beautiful balloon was made in 1997; it has a Hyperlast top 1/3 and parachute, it also has Kevlar cables and a Nomex scoop. The envelope is in great shape - it has been flown for pleasure only. The balloon was annualed last week by Dave Smith in Ohio. The porosity was 0 everywhere in the parachute, 0 everywhere in the top 1/3rd and in the standard fabric it was about 20 cfm. The reason for selling the balloon is because I am needing a larger one. The basket has (2) 15-gallon stainless steel tanks, and double Jetstream burners. The basket has 1 or 2 pieces of broken or scratched wicker but as a whole you can’t beat it.

I am asking $6,200 for the envelope or $12,500 for the complete system and $13,000 with inflator.
