Kubicek E Type Envelope
The Kubicek E-Type Hot air Balloon designed for the Private and Sport Balloonists for easy flying. The 12 Gore E Type Balloon introduced in 2008 has been designed to keep the envelope lightweight and cost effective. E-Type models come with Economic Nomex and Scoop helping to reduce the costs further as standard. Available in a variety of sizes the E-Type is a very solid and stable balloon in the air making it very easy to fly even in challenging conditions.
Due to the cost effectiveness of this balloon it is well suited for syndicates or individuals starting their flying careers. The Balloon is also capable of carrying simple advertising. Since the E-Type’s inception additional 8 Gore models have been added to tailor to the small lightweight one man balloons known as hoppers.
As with all Kubicek Balloons if you have an existing Basket Bottom end the team will customise the bottom of the balloon to suit your existing bottom end.

Which is the Basket, Burner and Tanks Combination is best for the E-type?
We recommend the best baskets under the Kubicek range are the Open or Sport Baskets please visit our Baskets page for more information. We would recommend the Sirius Single Burner for smaller sizes or if you prefer a double burner our Ignis Plus double burner and you can visit the Burner page for more information. For this size of Balloons we would also recommend our Queen or Prince Tanks to be used please visit our Fuel cylinder page for more information.
Can I fly the E-Type on other Manufacturers Bottom Ends
Yes - When it comes to using other Manufacturers equipment we are the most accommodating to make this happen. The rule we use as long as the equipment is approved by EASA and the size isn’t too different from a model of basket or burner in our range suitable to the size of envelope then it will be fine. Please feel free to contact us to find out more information on this.
