The last thing I need is a reason to generate flammable gasses in bulk :)
We homeschool, so maybe that would fit the stereotype everyone expects.
"And then they did a chemistry experiment and blew up their garage."
I've thought about an inverted L at home, I have just short of an acre, I
think the above ground part wouldn't be a problem its the radials. I'm
assuming in the wide open spaces at the farm I can pursue the same elevated
radials I would for a kite/balloon vertical? The elevated vertical thing
seems to be the best bang for the effort, and in some ways less effort
especially for temporary ops like this.
