Do you have build plans you can share?

Thanks, this one answered my question re build. Incredible project.

Fascinating set up. I recall an individual, or business, doing trial tests for a commercial ground affect vessel in Cairns, about 10 years ago. It never 'got off the ground' so to speak, which is a pity. I do a bit of kite surfing/foiling where I live so I can understand the value in getting above the chop.

Awesome build & video, thanks for sharing. How does it bank & turn? It does not seem to have ailerons/elevator, guessing the rudder does it all.

What’s New Mr. Skipper ???? 😊

you rock buddy, you are a total inspiration, mine is about 80 percent done, same colour too, except i have aluminum wings (a little bit heavy at 60 lbs each) are you selling plans? I'm intrigued how you are steering without ailerons??

you rock buddy!! im about 80 percent done mine...same colour too! lol

Brilliant Video EXCEPT for the music. I was expecting actual engine, wind sound etc not a band video

I wouldn't tell people if I won the lottery But there would be signs

I know shock when I see it, elevating her legs did the trick

We had an ag pilot auger in and die recently nearby. Makes me ponder more survivable flying machines. If it goes bad you still high enough to murder yourself eh?

This is just the coolest thing I have ever seen.

Supercool interpretation of the Ektoplan. Would this need a pilot license - that would be the deciding factor I think.

I think this would really take-off if it was done on the scale of a Jet Ski.

So, how many guns do you think HMAS Stirliing had pointed at you as you flew towards the island?

What motor and prop are you using ? Performs very well

So is this classified as a boat or a plane? I was waiting to see if you got pulled over!

Autopilot. Stay tuned. 🤞🏽👍🏽😉

Mission accomplished. Fantastic

The Pillow Panther

Dying to know how she felt even a meter above ge

I'm impressed 👏🏽

Takes an amazing person to take it to completion. Congratulations Mr Amazing 👏🏽

Should have seating for ten, I'm sure it can handle it. Sure not sure ;]

Oops…that could have been serious. Shows it does have an inherent safety. The foam construction is like a giant crash helmet. That said, do you wear crash helmets? Seat belts? Out of interest, what speed?

...because your cool.

hay James what your C/L .. Lift coefficient .8 .5 ?

Volkwagon motor too to keep expenses down

Im building one using a jon boat /tinney for the hull with lifting wings

Great view of the ultra low altitude flying. Must be thrilling machine to fly.

Is it able to carry any cargo?

You can tell she was scared,but she was there with you, brother. Outstanding,proformance from the both of you,it takes big balls and a lot of courage to do these things. Big smiles from the USA are coming at you! Best of luck, bro.

Beautiful machine, great videos! Does the Mudskipper stay IGE "Hands Off" or does it need constant corrections to fly this close to the surface?

Such a cool project!

Glad to see you both back on the horse. How about seat belts Captain???

Amazing craft, you truly are living the dream. What is the estimated fuel consumption and range? I know somewhere before you said airspeed is 100kph.

Please take my money

Cool! Are use the ailevon control surface for roll?

What's the angle of the wings? Wing area?

How did you get it back to land?

hi James r u flying much in the winter ?? or do u even have a winter ? its cold and wet in nz im in the cockpit. controls and wiring and fun fiddly bits a nice change from fiberglass

That was a cool video

Hope you answer this. I read where you had somewhat of a bad experience. I'm really sorry to hear that happened. I would like to ask if I may what happened to cause a mechanical failure. Did the wing strut let go or did the fabric collapse from a top side down draft. Might be a good idea to put some loading inside the cockpit on the walls and alike. Hard surfaces hurt when you hit them. I worked for a Aero-light company and we made fabric wings and tedlar skinnen wings

What's the engine, how many hp? Whats the crash stop distance, in case you need to stop immediately? Guess it halts fast once you pull the throttle?

Is there plans for sale to build one

So cool! What is the highest altitude above the water you've ever flown or is capable of?

Genius build! Would sure like to know what kind of speed this can attain? And what speed does it need to lift out of the water?

Very cool; and an amazing build. How fast will this thing fly at and what kind of height could it attain?

Great Thanks.

Beutifull craft ,love wathing your videos. Just wonder,hove do you keep it stabile since you have no ailerons like Ordinary aircraft?
