That is cool! And well built :)

Is that what gave the U.S.Army the idea I wonder...

It looks great. I've read it's a pretty dreadful model to put together.

BTW, the Karman in the name is Theodore Von Karman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_von_K%C3%A1rm%C3%A1n) who later when on to help start JPL, among other accomplishments.

I'd rather have a balloon ! ;D

Very nice to see such an unusual model done well :)

Even strongly tethered in all directions, I'm guessing it was a bit unstable. I'd have the "basket" underneath ...... & take a parachute with me !
