Was still a great flight considering the high wind. That extra protection on the underside did great from the wet grass. I would love to have this and fly from water, maybe next year 👍🏻
It is a strange craft - yet some how looks pritty good in the air and handles well - I plan to bring it to the field after the Rains - sometimes we can get flooded...
Great flight Martyn in less than perfect conditions . Love the backing track too! I’ve had no iPad for a couple of weeks and now I can catch up with all your posts .
What an odd bod of a spod that thing is! Yet it flies better than it looks. We need vids of it flying off mud, ice, snow, frost, long grass, beach, lake etc. etc....
Right let me get my OS Maps out and start working out a Plan............LOL, Hi gina - It does actually feel good on the sticks , Looking forward to flying it again in some calm weather -
Hi Keith - I was thinking of calling the video " Ekranoplan " - But as you say its NOT - it is an aircraft I did once have a radio controlled Hovercraft - that was fun.....
Well Sean - its was a friday night I came back from the Pub.......and the rest is history..... LOL.... When it arrived , I was not sure at all - but it does handle very well and in this strong wind , it was much calmer on Saturday and it really can move - Also at times it looks cool in the sky ... Lets hope I have it with me when the Field is in Flood.....
Hi Ian...if the opportunity presents itself I will fly off water, our field is prone to becoming a bit waterlogged in winter so I am hoping I can skim it across to take off...it was very windy and gusty today ...I will make a better flight soon when it is calm weather again......it actually feels good on the sticks, and looks better than I thought it would... stay well ..Martyn
Hi yah buddy Considering it was about 10mph and that's a BIG WING you done well on a maiden the landing that's why HK called them SKIPPERS. hahahahhaha all n all GOOD maiden

Certainly something a bit different I have to say and well done on a successful maiden (plus one) 👍🏻
