do not archive
Just seal the seams and fill it with helium......there's LOTS of rear fuselage volume!
And the wings, too.

One thing we can ALWAYS count on from Zed is solid, practical, down to earth
info we can really use in building our planes. Everybody else is arguing
over colors of scotchbrite and Zed is dreaming up methods that require us to
tie down our aircraft or they'll float away, nice post Zed. Thumbs Up!!

The funny thing is that I was thinking about the same thing. I did the calculations and found that even if you filled the entire plane with helium, the buoyant force is around 10 pounds. Realistically, you would add more gross weight just sealing up the airplane. I knew it was an idea doomed to fail, but it was fun thinking about it.
