Status: offline 		I am about to finish a WIG of my own design. It's nothing like the Caspian Seamonster though. There is a great WIG site, just type "Ground Effect" and run a search. I'll post a picture of mine once it's finished. Mine is called the "Manta". It uses a tapered, forward swept foil with a high tail and double stabilizer with twin rudders. Best of luck.
