Toivo Kaario and Hovercraft – an Interesting Experiment
An Interesting Experiment -Toivo Kaario and Hovercraft in Finland

Quote:
Photo, Left: P-9 during initial trials in Spring 1939- the Red Star and ”CCCP” were painted on the sides to confuse any Observers, as it was known that the USSR was conducting trials on a similar type of craft designed by a Soviet engineer, Vladimir Levkov. It was hoped that any sightings of the Finnish craft would be confused with the Soviet Navy craft that had been observed carrying out trials.
From the link above VIDEO:
Merivoimat military hovercraft High Speed Torpedo Boat P 10 Trials 1939
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWCR01i_IlQ&t=55s

.................................................. ...

LEVKOV’S HOVERCRAFT
https://weaponsandwarfare.com/2015/08/30/levkovs-hovercraft/

Quote:
The first ever air-cushion vehicle L-1 before trials, the Pleshcheyevo Lake, Russia, October 1935.


Apparently still much confusion about which craft were Russians and which were actually Finnish.

The Hovertank however is all Russian.

Ingenuity Mars helicopter: The historic journey to fly on another planet
https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/01/world/mars-ingenuity-helicopter-journey-scn/index.html

Quote:
It was a long seven years of design, building and testing, with a technical crisis or challenge arising every week, Balaram said.
The rigorous work put in to Ingenuity's design and testing is what made the helicopter possible, and the current helicopter sitting on Mars went into fabrication in 2018, Bailey said.

I'll be selling the 16" Cup Is and use either the BBSs after one of the wheels is repaired or the Cup IIs.
I'll most likely replace these seats with Recaro Speed seats.

And replace the roll bar with a Redline unit.

Why do boat wakes make the same patterns?
This short video breaks it down into simple mathematics.
