My second generation car is under way. This car is lower, wider, lighter,and more aerodynamic then it's older brother. This boils down to a more stable and hopefully faster car at half the size. Some of the suggestions I recieved help in designing the new car. Oh, the balsa frame idea was scrapped, not enough weight. Thanks again.

The hydroplane went back to square one. After ripping apart the old design and going over every inch, a number of modifications have been made and I tried again. No Hope for that old one as you can see below, all of the brakes are marked. If anyone has planes out there for the hull of a hydroplane, please send me a copie if possible.

The winterized "launch vehicle" is on the side burner for the moment and some new ideas are once again brewing. Welcome to Cloud Nine, Where anything could be possible!

Right:Yes it's lopsided but that's accident related. I think it almost looks mean.
