great place to read. great place for lunch. no FAA liscensing. no tree necessary. chicks dig it. [and americans can gloat during their hangtime as ive learned that the USA holds most of the natural Helium reserves worldwide.] other uses: storage, spying, melon bombing, punishing the kids, secure

Another way for big sister to tease little brother: cut the tether while he's up there with little Billy Quirkibuttocks from next door. |

To deal with "accidental" untetherings, maybe have an altitude sensor that causes the helium to slowly vent if the treehouse rises above its allowable airspace? |

Maintenance and construction costs
are likely to be relatively high
