Yes, Uncle Kyle has an engineering degree. He has always enjoyed building interesting things. This hovercraft is no exception. Built out of plywood, plastic “hay bale” sheeting and a leaf blower; it works pretty good.
He had it on display at the Fly In this past weekend at the Blue Sky airport which is South of Amarillo on Washington Street.
Here are videos of the hovercraft in action.
