Did you know Lindstrand can provide replacement envelopes for all US type certified brands?  
If a replacement envelope is what you need– Lindstrand can help.  If you have a Cameron or Thunder & Colt bottom end, a simple logbook entry is all you need.  For all other owners with US type certified bottom end components, we do all the FAA paperwork for you.

X-Treme Performance for X-Ceptional Balloonists - 

Designed for those who love to fly … and love to win!

In 2003, competitive balloonists presented the engineers at Lindstrand with a challenge– to design an envelope that can safely increase ascent and descent rates while maintaining a stable profile– and if fuel economy could be increased that would be a bonus.  The basic envelope shape working in conjunction with the exclusive internal baffle system has succeeded in achieving all our target design goals. 

The result is a 24 gore flat panel speedster which gives competition pilots a distinct edge and puts “extreme fun” into sport flying!

The X-Series is available in three sizes, 56, 60 and 69 to meet the increasing demand from balloonists.  As more and more sport pilots enjoy the responsiveness and versatility of this great design, it has become the most popular new model introduction in the last 10 years.  

The photo in the morning mist was taken by Cindy Petrehn, as she watched her brother, John Petrehn, win the World Championships in 2006.  Obviously, it takes a remarkable pilot to win events of this caliber.  We’re proud of their achievements and that a Lindstrand balloon, partnered with their own determination and skill, is proving to be the winning combination for them.
