To clarify, PARTY HELIUM IS NOT USUALLY USED FOR BALLOONING because it is a tiny atomic gas and quickly escapes through commonly available thin and lightweight balloon materials. It is also usually cut with normal air. Hydrogen is purportedly a molecular gas and works better (but might have similar sensationsa round its use due to traditional advisement of avoiding it). Hot air is what is conventional. [not sure what blimps and zeppelins use!] However, using party helium to make a drone is certainly indicative of not having training in making them </suspicion-focused introject that acts like its defending patriotism>
