Has anyone here used a lighter-than-air vehicle as a relay station to extend the range of their RC?

thats an idea some of us in the FPV area are considering to extend video range.
the teatherd baloon will have a reciever getting video feed from the airplane from 50-100' AGL and having a low power transmitter with a patch antenna pointed straight down to the ground station where the pilot stands using a reciever pointed up at the blimp.
