 OK, obviously some people must be bored... <G>

The density of air at STP is 13 cubic feet to the pound. The density of any 
other gas at STP is proportional to its molecular weight. The average MW for air 
is 29. Nitrogen is 28. Helium is 4. Hydrogen, the lightest gas, is 2.  Also, 
hydrogen is the most thermally conductive gas there is. For whatever that's 
worth! 

Now, if anyone wants to see if they think ANY of this is a big deal, well, have 
fun!!

I use light weight racing air....
