steve, that doesn't make any sense, cause then my bike, my parent's cars, my friend's boat, hell, even the robot (meg did ride on it twice) would be illegal
. i think you can get a permit though, and treat it like a boat (cause we plan to use it in the water).
also, you can take about a shop vac, and take out the motor, and use that. for that hovercraft, you'll probably see it if we decide to build it. the other one, i'm not so sure what we'll do, but it's more of a fun thing. the electrical one does have a purpose. and, the shop vac should be able to hold at least 200 lbs, more than enough for what we want.
also, aside from the skirt material, i just need some basic plans on how to assemble it.
