I think you all must agree that home made craft dont always come as well made as this one? and it has never ploughed in while i was flying. Its also been out on the Treasure Hunt. I have flown over 150 hours in this craft and it had never let me down.
 
I made this as part of my training when i was learning to build hovercraft and even now 5 years on its still flying and sold for around £2k.
 
Moral of the story, build it well, look after it and it will last       and it was Marine plywood.

Maybe we should invade one of those tropical islands and chuck everyone off. The we could have the best of both worlds.


You can buy one for about £100K in the Philippines.

All I was sayig as the video started was "here comes the ploughin"


Just like my challenger.


OK sure the weather is great, but the political crap, it's not worth it boys. Y do you think I am on my way over.


If I see good weather, I see rude people. Maybe we should invade one of those tropical islands and chuck everyone off. The we could have the best of both worlds.
