Wow, I'm totally impressed that you and your brother were able to build a working hovercraft. Even more impressed that you agreed to challenge "the hill" one more time. This was a fun one, Chip. Stuff like this doesn't seem to happen anymore.
I've been on a hovercraft. Very cool. But I surely wasn't mechanically minded to make try to make one. I/we, nailed skate wheels on boards for our skateboards, that was about a mechanical as I got. They were pretty good. I enjoyed this story.
Chip, I cringe at the thought of what might have happened on that ride. But you're right, fifteen year olds see only upsides. Glad that story didn't end on the downside!
I look back, somewhat incredulous, at the number of fifteen year old boys that make it to sixteen and beyond. I personally tempted fate a few too many times and somehow made it thru. At least, so far...
