EF Type - Lightweight Balloons

The EF Type is the latest type of Hot air Balloon designed by the factory. This mini hot air balloon has been designed as a 12 gore lightweight design incorporating some of the lightest materials Kubicek use in their balloons. Unlike the E Type of the same sizes which drop down to 8 gores this 12 gore design is perfect for customers looking for a smoother design. The design allows the EF Type to be used for both private fun flights and allows for corporate artwork to be applied to the balloon.

Using other Manufacturers Equipment with this envelope

Currently Kubicek do not have a suitable Hopper bottom end or collapsible basket in our range of products. However you can add existing bottom ends from other manufacturers as long as they are approved under the Civil Aviation Authorities latest Type Certificate for that particular Manufacturer or EASA for EU customers. Kubicek Balloons as a whole not only allows the approval of using other manufacturers bottom ends we have also made it incredibly simple for inspectors. Kubicek will also adapt the bottom end of the balloon to suit your bottom end’s burner frame at no extra cost.
