Does someone trying something like this need a lighter-than-air category
free balloon class rating certificate to be legal?


He's flying under Part 103 regs, wherein an "unpowered" ultralight
aircraft has a max of 155 lbs "dry" weight. Ballast weight is excluded
from that 155lbs in the case of a free-balloon type aircraft.
