Cameron Balloons O Srs

O-120

The O-77 is designed to the airworthiness requirements of the British Balloon and Airship Club and Airship Club technical committee. The envelope is made of high strength nylon fabric with nylon webbing bands. The nylon is treated to render it imporous and protect it from sunlight. Twelve stainless steel wires extend from the envelope to the burner frame, with another eight from the frame to the wicker basket. The heat source is a high output propane burner fed by liquid propane. This consists of vapourising coil and a set of four jets. There is also a pilot burner with its own fuel system. Four aluminium containers each carry 40 lbs of fuel. A fire extinguisher is standard equipment. The basket is made of wicker and willow and carries the fuel and four people. A 150 ft trail rope is attached.
