This is a different concept, it has wings and will actuall fly a few
feet off of the surface!

Hey Loogy, I told Wayne B, over in Chuck's place, that you were the local

Not an expert, but I built one, ran it a few years, etc. I did belong
to a local homebuilt type hovercraft club and learned alot from those
guys. I'm going to try to remember to rummage around in my scrap books
and find some pictures. I'll certainly try to help!
