Obviously they never have built anything before. A. very few people construct anything like this alone. Most have friends which account for the extra hours to build and assemble. b. Many parts can be purchased reducing the build time. While i have not built this craft, I have built 1 scorpian helicopter, 1 Wittman Tailwind, 1 KR-2, 1J4B Gyro and a special aircraft for a South American country. So my recommendation is to get the facts, before stating hours vs days. ok, Im not sure where some of these people get the idea that its a 25 hour day to build something.

Or just the plans, all parts can be sorced it just takes time. I know as i have been building lots of their hovercraft. You can get all the parts from universal hovercraft.

I would love to do that cuz you go go cross country at like 150 mph in a straight line and you would always make great time. You might swallow a few june bugs though. also how come there arent any videos of some stupid guy jumping out of that thing when it is up there. Thats probably the first thing most people would do with it.

It will only get about 10 foot of altitude before it fails to climb. The Soviets built many large ones as a way of transporting large amounts of troops quickly over water. The larger ones were able to climb to about 250 feet. As far as safety equipment, I take it you have never flown in an experimental aircraft before... And the reason your math worked out to 25 hours per day is they are talking about man hours. 3 men working 10 hours a day equals 30 hours per day..... This is a ground effect plane.
