    It appears to be a ground effect vehicle. I have seen three or four ground effect vehicles. They seem to work OK but I suggest you stay over water because the vehicle must be in close proximity to the surface it is flying over. In other words, a very abrupt change in terrain (canyon or bluff) can cause a fatal loss of control.

    This is the first I've heard of such a conversion. It looks like a really cool idea. Let us know if you get one.
