RC Car to Ground Effect Vehicle Conversion

"..I bought a cheap Rc car.." "..don't break that, it was expensive!"

Looks like the problem is most youtbers trying to make ground-effect vehicles only use speed to generate lift. The original machines used engines to blow air under the wings for huge lift at low speeds, then use rear engines when specific speed and lift are reached. Maybe you could use an internal duct system to pull air from above the vehicle and redirect it under the wings and backwards, if only for takeoff/landing/low speed travel. Also, remodel the wings to maintain the high-pressure air bubble. It's losing pressure meaning you need higher speeds to maintain the necessary pressure.

Dude! Years from now, when you're a famous aeronautical designer, students will watch these vids and see your engineering journey. Keep up the great work.

You could use the leftover car parts to do a ground effect car, just the other kind that used to be used in F!. Perhaps even a Gordon Murry style "fan-car".

I don't like rctestflight videos under 15 minutes long. I get so into them that it sucks when they end. You're such a tease!

I like this ground effect series. Make more!

The sneak peek is beautiful! And I really love the idea of having wheels on a plane. This was such a cool video!!

Yeah, if you've ever done a cheap "lost foam" mold, using packing tape around your plug is a good way to do it since the resin doesn't stick.

I love the ground effect idea. More please! Your videos are great, and you're a great innovator... the world moves forward by the work of people like you.

I love all your projects that work great but I think including the ones that don’t is what makes the channel really great.

The sneak peak was a great idea. That fuselage looks amazing.

This is a great video. Please don't give up on this idea it's great to see content like this thank you from New Zealand.

Loving these videos, manage to make even the smallest details interesting.

I love your projects! Would like to see a very large multi-engine (EDF) with sailplane style wings and several hours of endurance for a ultra-long range cross country flight.

That brushed motor is insane, I've never seen a brushed motor that sounds like that or has that kind of power

Love all of these videos, please continue doing the autonomous boats!

Keep working on this! You're working on my dream project!!!! Awesome job!

Another amazing invention and video. You are the most entertaining tech youtuber out there. Keep up the great work.

It reminds me a bit of this RC model called the Hydrofoam, the underside is shaped like a catamaran, and it can drive over water, it can fly, and it can drive over grass. And you are right, it has some hovercraft like features. Basically the single wing spans across the entire length of the aircraft, with a big rear wing that spans across the entire width of the aircraft.

Great video! Amazing to see you bringing your ideas to life!
