100KG Floaters big foot and small foot
I have this desire to Nuke (buggy the whole length in one reach) the beaches that form Pegasus bay (Watch the trip Reports for photos and report), from Amberly to South New Brighton. To do this I will need to be able to cross rivers and to cross rivers you need to be able to float.
A bigfoot kite buggy will float a 100KG man no problem
However a small foot or STD buggy wont it requires a little help.
Coke bottles Zip ties and an old inner tube will do the trick nicely we have detailed photos below.
The finished product waiting for testing.
A bit low in the water but a worker with the addition of an inner tube under the seat it is much more stable...
Now a switch to the bigfoot kite buggy for another river crossing...

Buggy Jumping On the Weekend
Well I have been wanting to get in to the air off the flat and level for some time now and I cracked it on the weekend (with out cracking my ugly head open) the wind was a steady 15 knots or near enough, using a Phantom 16 mt on a harness and a seat belt to keep the landing gear underneath me for the landings.
Hear is a small clip as proof
