I was hoping to, but the regulator fried on us and we’re waiting for it to come in. We have to work out some electrical kinks.

Yea, we should offer the service. We had a ton of leaves and grass clippings in the hovercraft. You have to clean them out of the fence often since it affects the fan.

There is a complete 2 person that needs some work, but parts are relatively cheap.

We’ve taken it out a few times this year. Bringing it out again tomorrow to Gratwick Park on River Road in NT  
Fun toy, and gets a ton of onlookers.

Yea, we can modify ours to make it fly too. I kind of want to get more used to land and water before air 🙂

Oh yea, some GoPro HD Video from 1.5 weeks ago. It’s entertaining mid-way too 🙂 It was our first time using the cameras and one was mounted above the fan, one on the left side. Make sure you click the HD option

It’s out of commission for a bit. All 6 blades broke. Not sure why, but it seems that they hit the inner fan housing and shattered.  
Sucks because we were having some winter fun with it

You do. You are floating 6-8 inches off the ground. When it drops off the air cushion, it hits the hull, if you aren’t going completely straight and slow, then it will jolt, or launch you.  
It’s fun as hell floating/drifting sideways too. But if you let off on the gas, it will drop like a rock and someone is going to go flying.

My dad was doing a slow turn and the fan shattered. It dropped off the cushions immediately and he was tossed.
