I believe he was referring to a model hovercraft with a rubber or plastic skirt. It would fill up with somewhat compressed air lifting the device off the ground.

No?

Trust me, I tried. I had like 15 of them from this summer's big bargain up in FIRST land!


Try an alternative power source - some of our kids pointed an air gun hooked to a big honkin' compressor at the fan blades and fired away. The result was quite entertaining, although half of the people in the woodshop had to hit the deck.... :-P

I seem to remember something about combustable fuels being a no go...

Back on topic here, my sources tell me that the Chiapuah (Atwood) motor will return, but it will be a different model with a more standard gear pitch on the output shaft.

The drill motor will return unchanged, but we will have a new model of transmission (with 4 planetary gears instead of 3).

I do admit, however, that a box of hamsters would be nice.
