That IS pretty cool and looks like it would be a lot of fun! I went looking on yt for a video and found one. Although the quality is poor you can get an idea of how it works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akA-B64RACU
Live to love, love to live.

Guess I won't be needing a trike when I get old. This thing looks really cool.

Keith...that was a neat video...thanks. Not quite the "speeder" made famous in Star Wars (optical effects) tho....but this IS an early prototype.....
Many many moons ago my Dad got the idea to build a personal hover craft as the plans were in Poplar Mechanics at the time as I recall.....it used a Briggs & Stratton 3 or 5 hp lawnmower engine & was controll by shifting one's body weight in the desired direction of travel....
