*** thats not an air boat thats more like a WIG design............

He's using lift from the motor to create less drag under the boat.

The boat is still in contact with the water though, which is in the stipulations for our top speed contest.

I think this is about as close to a WIG as you can get , and still be considered an Airboat , lol . Enjoy your 15 mins of Fame Brad lol

It's not your computer having trouble it's the web site. He gets so much traffic it over loads his server. If you continue to have trouble I will put it on another site.

These links may be more reliable, but are smaller and lower quality.

[link=http://www.rcuvideos.com/view_video.php?viewkey=057c48f87e101b61e699]Here is alternate link on RCUVideos to the speed run.[/link]

[link=http://www.rcuvideos.com/view_video.php?viewkey=643540a3a6e16985f62c]Here is another RCU vid of a few flips.[/link]

Here is a link to [link=http://www.rc-airboats.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=Stingray-first-good-run]more videos[/link].

Enjoy !
