Pardon me if this isn't the correct thread to ask, but can anyone weigh in on hot air balloons? I'm not interested in being a pilot, but I recently went to a festival that was ostensibly a ballooning meet, and the balloons were grounded the entire time. Weather conditions were clear and sunny, high humidity, gusts of 7-10 miles per hour, with a wet field. Not a single balloon launched. I only ask because I used to fly with my dad in his tiny 2-seater single-prop back in the day, and while that especially diminutive plane was susceptible to being grounded in less than torrential weather, the conditions that were grounding these balloons would have been glorious flying weather for the Varga. Are balloons really just that fragile? I admit I only have the vaguest idea of how a hot air balloon even operates, or how much control the pilot has over it. Seems like a rather unrewarding hobby.
