Hello there,


This is my 1st day here!
:)


I started last year building an ekranoplan from an old canoe, old masts and other old parts from everywhere;
foam, duct tape, fiber glass... the cheapest things!...

And... im almost DONE!!


for power im using:
2x Aeolianmotor C5065 KV380 Brushless Motor 1665 Watt
with 16´´x 10´´, 4 blade propeller


1x sky engine 100cc, 18 hp
with a carbon fiber 3 blade, 120cm propeller


I dont know i much the "aircraft" weight... around 90Kg i guess.
and i wight 85kg


This ship, ekranoplan, its to fly only 1-2 metters above the water!
Im not a engennier, not a geniuos... i just want to fly!
So my question its: will it fly?! Will it take off?!


You can wach the full power test HERE!

Yes... i work in a place with bad conditions...
:ermm:


I need opinions, tips, good criticisms, things that i can learn more!




Thanks
best regards




ps: i have more data, specifications, videos, pictures, about the ship that i can show!
:)
