Lighter composite materials are also thought to improve range and fuel efficiency.

What about styrofoam? With the fuel efficiency attained from a styrofoam plane, it could probably fly between Florida and NY cheaper than driving a car the same distance.

Can't we tie helium balloons together in an aerodynamic configuration? Do we have enough twine, is my main concern.

Why can't we just use balsam like the scouts do? The cheapo styrofoam planes fall apart too easily and don't even fly straight.

Then you throw it into the garbage can once you get there. A really big garbage can.
