The thing is, it's never managed to take off without those straps balancing it. It has no balance system apart from "hoping" it doesn't tip off it's cushion of air.

Not to mention the "max height" and "max airspeed" are just randomly pulled from thin air. (pun intended).

Looks brilliant and can't wait for them to get all the bugs out and make them stable. Can't see them being too expensive either. Only a matter of time before some fucker in Oz bans them.

Using computers and gyroscopes seems complicated ?
Wouldnt using 4 slightly smaller fan's and mounting
them higher / the riders weight lower to have a
pendulum effect make it more controlable ? Maybe not ?

I know in the 1950 the UK military told the inventer
of the hovercraft that it wasnt a real good idea !
