    I remember in an old boys life magazine , there was an ad for plans to build a hovercraft. As a kid, I tried to build it and failed miserably. Well flash forward about twenty years , with the plans long gone, I built it with my kids from what I remembered and they absolutely loved it. Nice work on the construction . Great attention to detail.

    Did you guys just guessed it would work or did you do the calculations to see if a human had the strength and endurance to keep the skirt inflated before getting the parts and stuff?
