Ready-to-fly (RTF) Solar Balloons
	6-foot Tetroon Product # TET06 This balloon stands approximately 6 feet tall when inflated. It has high flying capabilities like all solar balloons, and can reach tens of thousands of feet high and fly for hundreds of miles. A tether is recommended to keep the balloon from escaping. $7.00
	12-foot Tetroon New! Product # TET12 Twice as tall as the 6-foot tetroon, but 8 times as much volume - meaning much more lifting capacity! In ideal conditions, it can lift at least 3 pounds (approximately). Use a strong tether - the wind can pull this hard! $20.00
	EZ Tube Product # EZT12 The EZ Tube features a wide-open mouth with a drawstring so the balloon can be easily inflated and sealed shut. Simply hold the mouth open and run to allow air in, then pull the string to close the balloon. It stands 12 feet tall and 3 feet wide when fully inflated. $11.00

Defective or damaged balloons?

If you receive a balloon that is defective (flaws in seaming, flaws in shape or design, or other very rare defects) or if your balloon arrives damaged straight from the box, email us a request for a replacement or repair and include the Transaction ID in your email to prove you purchased the balloon(s). Damage caused during flights or any other handling of the balloon is not included in the warranty. It's up to you to ensure that the balloon is well cared for, and it's normal after a lot of flying for a balloon to eventually develop holes and tears from accidental "scrapes" and mishaps.
