Alas, the stupid thing is heavy enough (the nose ring has 4 huge brass weights for stability) that even helium wouldn't make a difference in its lack of buoyancy.

At NARAM-49 my daughter flew one for E Stupidroc. It seems designed to cause small burn holes in the back end of the bag from ignition, so once flown it began to lose some air. By the time we brought it back, it definitely needed a little blue pill.
