JohnnyG Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Two things: Speed conquers all. And, It gives a whole new meaning to "front wheel drive". I'd say the prop is creating most of the lift.....incredible! GM, hire this guy, the basis of the design is very similar to the SR-71, very little energy wasted. I'm with you JimD! Never underestimate the amount of a persons greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob D Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I have to get one of these!http://www.wimp.com/foam/ If they can get any range out of these little things, I could see them having military applications..

Bob D Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Can these be purchased? From what little research I've done so far, no they're not in production yet. When they do (soon?) somebody's going to make some serious profit. Those things are very interesting.. '93 STS.. opened, dropped, wide...fast.

Logan Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 These units can do 200 mph..... 8-9 minutes is the fly time. Sound, smell, is the same as seeing the Blue Angels....

speedyman_2 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I've seen this hydrofoam video about a month ago. It's crazy! And, still amazing to see again. I can't wait until it comes out. I would love to get one! It's like all 3 areas of R/C in one! Land, Air, and water!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDK Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I wonder... About the power to weight ratio. About the stability and control surfaces. How to get on-board video (talk about motion sickness)! In any case, a pro at the controls and good editing for a home video. fun stuff fer sure. Add power to leave problems behind. Most braking is just - poor planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regis Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I'll take either to "buzz" the geese up at my folk's place on the water. On second thought the foam boat would probably be a better idea. Unless that lawn mower can land on water. "Burns" rubber " I've never considered myself to be all that conservative, but it seems the more liberal some people get the more conservative I become.

danbuc Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Those are small Hyrdoplane bots that have been modified with two mini aircraft servos, and the motor/prop assembly out of a model plane. I think these guys made these theselves. As far as I know, no one makes a flying boat like this. I've been in the R/C hobby for years, and haven't seen one. It's actually pretty easy to do, and the design of the boat makes it quite easy to adapt to fly. I mean, even the full scale ones do it sometimes...hehe. All you need is at least a 4 channel remote, and the motor/prop assembly from a plane. The rest is just modifying the rear wing to act like two ailerons, that canbe controlled by the two servos.

Marika Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 The guy who designed the Hydro-Foam plane has a website: http://michaelconnally.com/ If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars. No more seat belts, ABS brakes, traction control, air bags or stability control. No more anything. You'll see how quickly people will slow down and once again learn to drive like "normal" humans.

Logan Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 The B-52 model showed the great jet engine sound you can get with the jet units. The fighter planes are much faster....up to a 200 mph FAA limit.
