I have heard that the rollerball (Baron and Jr. Gent) might "blowup" in flight. Have any of you had this problem? I wanted to take a Baron to a friend and am worried.
Thanks,

Do your arms get tired??? :biggrin:
I fly for a living (and have flown both pressurized and unpressurized aircraft) and have never had a problem with a rollerball.
Statistically speaking, my MTBF is infinite.
My rollerball pens have a failure rate of 0%, 100% of the time, with 100% confidence.
E(x)=100, V(x)=0
Of course, this kinda blows the various distribution theories out of the water....
I hate statistics....

I had a Jr statesman capped explode in my nice dress shirt after a flight. It had a schmidt steel roller ball in it,
The probability of having a roller ball explode due to flying is extremely small. The roller ball refills I import come via air (cargo, no less) from Germany with no ill effects. I also ship a lot of roller ball pens and have not had a customer complaint.
OK, now I'm confused.

Isn't the argument for "exploding" based on carrying the pen in the pressurized cabin?
The freight is in an "unpressurized" cargo bay.
Aren't we comparing apples and pineapples???
Ok, here are the details...and no, cargo space is not unpressurized
Thanks, I'm LESS confused.
I suppose you didn't think to say< "Your yogurt is served!!"
Now I'm confused. If the rest of the plane is at 43,000 feet, why did they leave the cabin at 7,200 feet? Loose bolts??
