Above: Doug Robertson inflates his 77,000 cf balloon using his 24-inch Honda GX200 VENTRY Fan. Balloons make for the most beautiful photographic subjects, don’t they?

Doug and his balloon - and his VENTRY Fan - are featured in an expose on YouTube! Click here to watch (it opens in a new window).

Thanks to Connecticut pilots Mike Bollea and Mark Sand for this picture, the one on the Inflation page, and the next three, as well as for their permission to share them here!

Below: Excellent illustration of how far away to set the VENTRY Inflator Fan. Note: Always run VENTRY Fans with legs fully extended to get the most air, preserve your propeller, and keep your crew and balloon safe. We also recommend setting the fan back 1.5 times the diameter of the throat (or height of a doorway, as the case may be). For instance, if the throat is 10 feet, set the fan back 15. You can experiment, as Mark has, to find the ideal positioning for your balloon.
