    A brother of mine used to fly gliders. When he was learning, he was flying alongside his instructor (separate aircraft). They were running out of altitude to make it back the their field. The instructor said "follow me", then stuck the nose down and flew quite fast in ground effect, rising up to miss hedges and trees, and got back to the field with quite a bit of spare speed in hand.
  • @Zorzi98
    There is some poethic appeal to flying so close to the water surface... simply beautiful!! Congratulations, guys
  • @iconifyme
    The closeups skimming over the surface of the glassy water are just sublime. I can't imagine what it would feel like to actually fly in a plane like that. Closest to a "spiritual" experience as I can imagine.
  • @TheLifeTerm
    Absolutely amazing! I remember watching Daniel, as a kid, flying one of his homemade planes, out from his bedroom window, to a distant mountain, and back through his window. You, two, are absolute geniuses. 👍👏

    Just FYI, in the aerospace industry, our metallurgists typically have us using LPS-3 inhibitor for general applications. CorrosionX products, including HD, have failed their salt-spray torture exams in the lab, like nearly all consumer-type products do.
  • @unything2696
    Really impressive. Thanks for including the rough weather conditions, handled it much better than expected. Also just beatiful pictures, the reflections and all, wow.
  • Finished project looks beautiful, it does have a “ocean ray” appearance. Those props are doing some serious rpm’s, they sound gutsy. 🧐
  • @V67Snick
    Nothing like a little lake effect flying. Absolutely wonderful.
  • @kontakt4321
    Thanks for reminding me of VNV Nation. It's been a long time, and it's great to see they're still making music I love.
  • @tommyyates4639
    This is a beautiful project and well documented. Congratulations on the work. I am a long time modeler and am still astounded by the newer generation and how much you guys can accomplish. Keep up the great work!
  • Heart felt for you when you lost a week solving ESC issue. Talking us through those kind of problems and how you solved them would be interesting. Thanks for the great videos!
  • This truely one of the prettiest model aircrafts I've ever seen. Great job
  • Man, just wow, this whole project is amazing. Having designed (conceptually) an Ekranoplan myself, its amazing to see prototyping and testing at this scale. Congrats!!
  • @NiCadHeliPilot
    That's gotta be the most badass ekronoplan I've seen, thus far.
  • @dt9233
    I'm floored this is so Awesome... You all are so Awesome!!!
  • @fugginrambo
    I'm so glad the cameras can do justice to your wonderful creation.
  • @paulkrapp
    I've been flying RC for 40 years. It makes me very happy to see young people using innovated technology. Good job guys! 👍😀🛩
  • @sakarrc5001
    Damn, amazing. The engineering and Daniel and you, three pillars of the hobby.
  • @tonyd.9156
    Stunning. I was mesmerized. Just beautiful. Thanks for posting.
