Introducing Wind Dancer



Hi All, I'm new to all this stuff so please bear with me!




In July '05, this is what Wind Dancer looked like. Some things have changed...some have stayed the same! The power is still the same... a 26hp Briggs and Stratton for lift and a Subaru 1800 for thrust! This was the day my Hover dream become a hovercraft...but more about that later!


Out of the shed and into the sun...one would think she would be keen to fly!
And she did...I had to hold her still here.
Check in soon to find out more about the Wind Dancer story.
