Hi you all, neccessity is the mother of invention, and if you can't talk anyone else around into flying some combat, just go down to the local gift shop, florist or party store and pick up some helium filled balloons for some solo action. I have paid anywhere from .80 to $1.00 each for the latex kind. explain to the salesman what you are using them for and they might give you extra helium. I can get one to hover with 25' of light string if the wind is light, if the wind is stronger just add more balloons. I like to time myself to see how quickly I can score. Club combat could work this in to the scoring with a little imagination. How about your score from the round doesn't count unless you also pop a balloon?
