Scaffolding is going up around the Hopper.
That’s a lot of bottles they’ve staged next to the hopper base. Assume that’s for welding.

Can you explain the color codes for the bottles? Green is Oxygen I think

Might not apply, as others have said the color codes are not binding/international.

Just getting caught up. The tank section with the dome top suddenly looks flight worthy for short hops. Just like the old Grasshopper.
Without the windstorm I would have flown it combined. But why wait?
I’d do every sub 100ft hop as is.

 Could be Argon.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.
