Greetings James. Have been noticing your new Mudskipper clips. Clearly superior GE performance than the hovering, looks very stable. Well done on the build and flight trails. Are you permanently based in Perth?
Congratulations on your flying machine! I am interested in writing up an article about this and another 2-person ekranoplan (currently in-build) for a UK-based boat magazine. Might you be interested in featuring? I am not a spammer or a bot but I do like being in or on water, writing, and hula-hooping.
Man that transition reallly messes with my eyes/head lol. What kind of elevation you think you can achieve with that chord/length wing? What I want to achieve is the ability to have a slower stall speed but be able to cruise like what some hoverwings achieve 10-15’. It’s a big grey area over here what constitutes boat or plane or something in between.
Насколько высоко ваш аппарат может подниматься над поверхностью? Высота полета постоянно контролируется ручкой как на самолете? Или создается воздушная подушка, которая не позволяет аппарату опуститься пока есть достаточная скорость? Можно ли совершить полет, как на самолете?
Hello It can fly anywhere between 0 to 6m. It can fly higher but as this is a ground effect craft I stay below wingspan height. You have to control it just like an aircraft
Wow, what great scenes! love the new camera. Reminds me of the film Flight of the Navigator.
James would it be possible to know, wing area, MTOW, and take off speed. Awesome work !!
Thanks mate! 18m2, 650kg, 60kph
A fantastic craft. I can't wait to build one.
james what is your wing fabric ? plz
It's called tuff stuff (jumping castle material) from Nolans UDA

Thanks very much! Yes I'm based in Perth for the foreseeable future

Thanks very much! Sure thing, my email is j.greenberger@hotmail.com
We can talk there!
Thanks! I just emailed you from my unganic address, hopefully it's not in your spam!@@Ground-Effect

It's different isn't it!
It has the ability to fly out of ground effect but not a safe choice.
My speed range is 60-120kph

Could one be made into a drone?
It's possible
