Devil is always in the details!!!
We once tried filling white balloons with helium and then tied a pair together onto a fishing rod and reel. Worked great on the warm afternoon with just a light breeze on our trial run,,, opened the reel bale and the balloons went 50 yards up and fluttered down nicely when we reeled them in.
Little did we realize that in the morning, cold air would cause the ballooons to deflate ,,,,and moderate to strong winds would drive the balloons down hard unto the stubble popping the balloons when we closed the reel bale. Now throw in the inconvenience of hauling around a helium tank ,,,, and let's just say we quickly abandoned the idea before anybody saw us!!!
As they say, "The best made plans ,,,,,,"
