I ordered a couple of sky lanterns from DX. These things are cool!

I used a blow dryer to fill it initially with hot air. Then I used a propane torch to quickly ignite the paraffin fuel source. Doing it that way allows the sky lantern to fly further and higher and speeds up the launching process.

Sorry for the post. I don't run Flash in my primary browser, and all I saw was a black screen. I'll check it out later on a different machine. :ohgeez:
