Hey Hover Dude,

Who says a WIG craft is not an airboat? (Define "airboat"...) It's just another family of the same basic breed! So it has wings, and therefore more difficult to balance to keep at the surface, but nonetheless WIGs are classified as boats in full scale. One thing I see in the pictures that you may have problems with however, is the relatively short span of your stabilizer. It will work fine in extreme ground effect, but once you start to lift off, the wing vortices are very strong, and greatly reduce the effectiveness of the stabilizer. Just a thought...Most of the WIGs I have built have very large span stabilizers. Keep us posted!
