I managed to find a local source for the 6mm foam rod for the steering
equipment. I reckon that the thinner one, although needs to be
reinforced, is lighter and has less air resistance, and is thus better
for the rod? The instructions say that the rod should be 10m (30ft)
long? Would a shorter one be better (at least for lower ceiling than 50
meters)? Also, does anyone have suggestions, how much lift the balloon
should have for good steering?

Thx,
