  • can you send me a message telling me what are the materials(especiaaly the size). please!!

  • Sure. What sizes are you interested in?

  • what do you mean by the "foil that chips off" on the first hovercraft? also i think it could work perfectly fine if not better than the second, if you guys put that leaf blower onto the first hovercraft.

    also how many horsepower is the gas leaf blower that you guys use?

  • I forget what the horsepower on the blower is. It was a midrange one that we got from Lowes. We are going to rework the thing this summer to see if we can get it to go.

  • stop breathing into the mic!!

  • I know, I know (I am the Dad). I will try to not be out of breath next time!

  • love it! sweet memories you are making with your kids!

  • you shoudent use a pre blowd skirt, the leafblower needs to pump air in to the skirt, then via holes ti the inside.

  • With all that breathing in the back I expected him to tell the little boy....

    "I AM YOUR FaaaaaaaaaaTHAH!"

  • Okay I like the idea of the non limited movement I tried it and it worked perfectly But I had a foamish blow up bottome like you did with the dhingy by using a tube

  • use polyurethane same stuff they use to install a windshield any car part store

  • omg ur a genius i never thought of using a inflatable boat I was thinking of using some plastic bag thing no really great vid keep it up

  • i think it would be cool to make a 4 man size hovercraft. might need 3 or 4 blowers tho

  • what are the materials for it

  • where do you get this gorilla tape and glue stuff?

  • @iindium49 I just wish my dad would do something cool like that with me!
