Hurricane had (has?) one. Didn't get quite that high though - needed more power in the jetrib:

This is the more likely outcome!

I have one too, they're fantastic fun /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif: And they are really stable too due to the huge wings either side. I've not been as high as in the video yet but am getting there /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

It's all down to the throttle anyway, as soon as you see the manta veering off to the side you just throttle back gently and it''l go down nice and gently and even if one wing touches first, it'll soon right itself.

I want one, but aparantly sales have stopped due to some bad injuries. Anyone know where I can get one?

Maybe the inventor is the same who gave birth to the famous air chair...
But if not, I wonder who of them used more hallucinogens when they were on the drawing board!

 

[Sundays_Child]

Oh, I've played with the air chair quite a bit... the amateur way!

Hard to get it up, as it were.......

yep still got it
all packed away at the moment waiting for the new boat

I dont think a JetRib was really powerfull enough to lift it.

Going to the boat show later this week to see what conventional RIB tenders are available.
