h3. Gas selection

According to research listed in the [[Purchasing#Gas|Purchasing]] section, the price of Helium is about twice the price of Hydrogen. Filling a 1200 gr. balloon with Helium (about 5.5m ^3^ costs about 33.000 iskr. Filling the same balloon with Hydrogen costs about 17.000 -  24.000 iskr.

h3. Retrieval

I contact the LHG(Coast Guard) and asked them for help to retrive the sword after launch. They were willing to do that, but ongly if the other helicopter companys in Iceland were not intrested to do it, or do not have the equipment to do it, since the sword will maybe land on sea. 

The helicopter companys that i know are:

-Vesturflug ehf(Blue West Helicopters)

-Norðurflug

-Þyrluþjónustan

-Vesturflug ehf

If you know some other, please add it here above.

LHG contact:
