The New Addition to the the Fleet

Went to a kids expo at the Auckland showgrounds with the boys a few weeks ago, and while there, bought a radio controled hovercraft. Testing it on the beach this weekend showed a few deficiencies:

  • The battery is a 700mAH NiCad pack - pretty crap
  • The left hand fan motor has more oomph than the right, so it goes around in circles
  • The turbine fan for skirt inflation is very inefficient

These faults will be rectified in time.......
