Default RE: Ice craft!

scale only 4 me - Yes it runs specially designed metal blades, like an ice skater does. that initial prototype had aero rudders at the back but we are dropping those for a proper blade steering to get more control and grip.

flyinwalenda - working with the ice rinks is another thing that we want to do, because i think this activity could be good for them too! you could even have races and championships and etc, kind of like indoor 3d flying in sports halls, same thing in my view. True on the Swap buggy in fact thats where i started but having it run on actual blades with steering and being properly designed makes it much more like a car drives on the road rather than a drifting hovercraft if you know what i mean (the video is of one of the very first prototypes).
