Ground Effect Vehicle Modification

I was just about to take the motor and LiPo off this vehicle to use on another project when I thought I would give it one final modification before I destroy it. I have added a nose and a stabiliser to stop it flipping over at speed. It works fine, so that really is the last episode. The original build is here /watch/oRsyyo_tXUaty Here are some other people's GEVs John Ryland /watch/o9FV6kBZWICZV Gábor Rudas /watch/YSeBDpcX_USXB Mark Hoyle's video about John Schuster's vehicle /watch/Q8WdzVtHs9iHd Hers is a Wikipedia link for more information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_effect_vehicle Main components - Polystyrene Pizza Tray Propellers http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291043236498 Motors http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261560052055 LiPo battery http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141347633051 Lipo charger board http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400527882453 Here is the my LiPo battery & charge manager build /watch/0cwC2RX6_Pc6C Main Tools - Hot Glue Gun Sharp knife Filmed using FujiFilm FinePix S4800 & XP70 Edited using Serif MoviePlus Starter Edition Related playlists Ground Effect Vehicles playlist /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB3I-wHAca4HzmbzGy9LzsJk Hovercraft playlist /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB3zoLYIrdESCCWdx2nLq8r7 Pizza Tray playlist /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB04GN5yvwwJipBl8tm3-LcD Clearly many parts of the world do not have polystyrene pizza trays. They are just the packaging that my local supermarkets use for pizzas. I use them because they are free and would otherwise be thrown away. You could use any polystyrene or styrofoam packaging you can find or even buy foam board from model shops. The foam I am using is about 5mm thick.
