About Model Hot Air Balloons
Model hot air balloons work exactly like a real hot air balloon, we use the same gas as the LPG Propane.
So how do you inflate a hot air balloon?
Well first we start by laying out the balloon flat on the ground, we then put cold air in mouth of the balloon (hole at the bottom) once we have put enough cold air in, we switch on the burners and put in along flame, which heats the balloon. The balloon then slowly rises.
We can then control the balloon with a remote or a small button inside the basket.
