Gotta have one

Cool.

Don't worry hun just lean up against this spot infront of the big fan, I promise it won't feel like you are about to be pulled in!:laugh:

I love it, I WANT one of those! Except I would like a bit more of a windshield.

I can already here the complaints coming,he was too close to my head while passing.

It looks like a kite tube on steroids... Probably a blast but wait until you get caught by an updraft or a gust.

I have to agree. From the looks of it I didn't see ailerons so I don't know how you bank without just leaning in the direction you want to go...very scary!!!:eek:

I think its pretty cool! I want one!

This explains how the craft "flies" so to speak...

Can we get college credits for all we learn on the Forum? :laugh:

Wow, it just comes under the "you know what" too.

A New Zealand inventor has created a flying machine, a hovercraft that acts like a boat until it hits 70km per hour and takes to the skies.

70 kilometer/hour = 43.495 983 457 mile/hour (mph)

Of course when it lands back on the water, I assume it will be going slightly faster than the "you know what". :laugh: So I guess there will be no flying hovercraft under the Christmas tree for Winnie boaters. Besides it looks so unsafe. That must mean it is.:rolleye2:

We better stop this thing before it's too late.
