Why does “Rubba Dub Dub, Two Men In A Tub” come to mind? 😂🤣😂😬😂🤪

It was your team that inspired me to get into RC. Been flyng for about 5 years now and absolutely love it. The level of creatvity and ingenuity you all bring is truly inspiring. Can't wait to see the end result.

This is absolutely my favorite project from you guys EVER. When you get it hovering, and performing really well, you can glass the entire thing, and make it durable. But you would obviously need to calculate in the extra weight, ahead. Maybe use added weights, spread evenly all around the hovercraft, along with the rider weights, in testing, to account for the glassing you'll add when it comes time to finish it. The weighs really should be spread all around the outside of the craft, obviously, to mimic the load distribution of the glassing.

For those who will whine about how it's not an a hovercraft FLIES.

Can’t wait to see this complete and running

Good job can hardly wait to see the progress.

[seaskimmer]

Holy moly! That looks so cool. Some great thought put into it before design and build.

[mathewdavis-adventuresandd]

Wow. You guys are killing it. Love watching these videos.

[adamwolfy]

Also, pond liner is a great rugged material for a diy hovercraft skirt/bag. You could also use 2/3 leaf blowers to inflate the skirt

[MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, guys! Looking forward to see the ride! 😃
Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊

I was wondering if you have heard of my grandfather dale kowal he made a lot like a lot of rc aircraft including a 14 foot c130 that he built from foam, wood, glue. He got into the hobby when he was 19 he is 78 now and still flying….

This is some hacksmith scale works that is going on, I love it!

[popeyeman]

Great progress on the Land Speeder guys! Those foam cutters sure can make some awesome parts. Maybe a giant Goldberg Zipper?

[pinwizz]

Needs a bow to stern keel and a triangular gusset on the inside in front of it attached to that rear pylon support to distribute the stress load put on by the prop.
Especially since that foam doesn't have the strength / stiffness of aluminum or steel.

Let's Go 🔥
Awesome guys. This is going to be 🔥EPIC🔥

I'm thankfully of having notifications turned on.

Keep up the good content :)

[monkeybarmonkeyman]

I fully admit I will be impressed if this has enough downward air volume and pressure to keep it hovering. No doubt you're going to have to calculate max loads if you haven't already. Looking forward to future videos.

The one in the movie had large wheels on the bottom they hid with mirrors and post processing. The way they hid the lower half makes Luke look as if part of his legs disappear into a wormhole because there was a little bump on the bottom for the seat, his feet, and the pedals on his car. Changing the height of the side panels makes up for the seat bump and pedals disappearing.

I also can't seem to find the Lucas Film's interview where George Lucas and some of the other film makers (can't remember their names) talked about the car and the making of the original film.

[Didjeridoolove]

Totally off topic.. but because of you guys, and your piloting Josh, I’m going for my PPL 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼..

[nialpmatk]

I love how yall engeneer stuff! “hey can we build a land speeder?” “yup”
