This craft was built and ‘flown’ in 1964, so you can see a bit of history in the making. 
Very impressive.

Model Experiments:
Ekranoplans and Wing-in-Ground effect Vehicles.  These are a new class of vehicles that 'fly' very close to the ground, like a cross between a boat, a hovercraft and an aeroplane.  For some 20 years I have followed the developments in in this field, have built several radio controlled models and written professional & amateur papers on the subject. Click photo to see.
Other Models and Experiments
Includes experimental radio controlled model hydrofoils, stepped hull boats and others. Click photo to see.
