    Very nice reverse stop system without the need for variable pitch control. Also like the inflatable boat as a base structure to keep the weight down.

    Nice looking unit with some very impressive performance. I love your choice of soundtrack. It's been a few years since I've heard Prism and this is one of their best tunes. I recall seeing them live in around 1978 and it was one of the best concerts I ever attended. Too bad Ron Taback passed away so young.

    I have built three Hovercraft so I feel I am qualified to say::: AWSOME BUILD! I need to look at your doing the rudder rigging. Thanks Brad

    Seems to be very efficient, a good job for such small engine. Congrats !

    Way cool. A slight upgrade would be to use the RIB concept. That would give you a more rigid mount for the propulsion unit, fuel, and seating. I really like the vectored thrust control. It looks much more responsive than the traditional rudders plus you get "brakes".

    That's really cool, I wish I had the resources and time to build something like that.

    he hits a tree branch later on and the rock'n party music stops and plays taps as the craft sinks into the GATOR INFESTED SWAMP!!!

    How heavy is the skirt and of what material? It appears reflective, is it a plastic or rubber?
    Do you have a website where I can see your design? I am curious about building my own. Thankyou for your time.

    Your duct vents and controls are very impressive. Is your bag pressure controled by ur rudders or separate paws

    due you plan to use Hypalon for the hull? did you build the Duct fan set up? it is very impressive

  • @lights779
    @lights779 Před 12 lety

    Will it float indefinitely or will it sink eventually?

    You should delete your comment so this idiot's trolling is not the first thing that displays below your video's description. It clearly is not fake. By responding to his idiocy, all you are doing is ensuring that his comment will be seen by more people and that it will be the first thing they see in the comments section. "raj p" does not deserve that.
