So good! This makes me want to build another

9:09 to 9:23 that thing "flying" just over the surface of the water is some of the coolest rc footage ive seen

[carelsberghstijn]

Peter: 'We're building a plane'
*Has trouble flying*
Peter: 'We're building a plane that shouldn't fly'
*Flies like a champ*

[ADRfley]

Peter has liked at least 2 comments about making it ride-able... I like where this is going.

[zacharycohenwarburton]

Am I the only person who got goosebumps of excitement when the great music kicked in and the silver version of the ekranoplan hovered over the rainy lake

[lfteri]

Imagine dedicating your entire carrer in science to a new kind of vehicle, only for someone to put Yeet on it year after your death

[EeoGamer]

9:34 That's actually what the real KM class did. The eight engines on the front angled their thrust down under the wings for additional lift. Once airborne, all eight of those engines were shut off and two engines in the rear provided all of the in-flight thrust.

Dude you nailed it! The follow footage from the boat was freaking art.

[henriquealves]

Bro, no jokes here

Thats one of the coolest things i've ever seen

[PlanesAtPaine]

This is my favorite video of yours, hands down. When you first got it going from the boat I smiled a mile wide. I also liked seeing you dealing with the same issues that faced the real one, like having too much thrust once in ground effect, not being able to steer it tightly, needing smooth calm water. It all added to the authenticity of the project and I loved it. :)

[phenomX]

Seeing that thing 'fly' was sooo satisfying!

[arizonaranger]

Fun fact: the Ekranoplan is one of the few inventions that you can just scale up/down and it will still work (like the maxim machine gun, can be scaled up into an anti aircraft gun and scaled down into a submachine gun)

[ВалерийЯкушин-ъй]

Это невероятная модель экраноплана. Вы большие молодцы. This is an incredible model of an ekranoplan. You are great fellows.

[johnson]

This is one of the coolest projects I’ve seen in a while, this looked so cool especially when you got it to fly just right. How much flight time did you get out of it?

[liamwinter]

Thank you. Now make a rideable version.

[Gabriel-heih]

US reporter: Does this classify as a ship or as an aircraft?

Dimitri: *Да, товарищ!*

[Brovioli]

The smoke machine scene at the beginning was incredible, I want to see that again with so many different things haha

[advancedchallenge]

You forgot one thing, the front engines are only to get the plane into the ground effect, after that the 2 small motors on the tail fin are enough to keep it in the air.

It still looks really cool though!

[karlsinger]

9:25 Seeing it skimming the water like that was so amazing! It looks like the real deal.

[sylek]

Legit one of the coolest RC projects I've ever seen. Really love the silver look from the aluminum tape
