(A length of string is included in each GH kit.) This is much more fun than it sounds! A car or boat on a string isn't much fun -- you end up pulling the vehicle where you want it to go. A hovercraft is different - a hovercraft can move in a completely different direction from the way it is pointed, a hovercraft in motion tends to stay in motion, a hovercraft on land always tries to go downhill, and a hovercraft anywhere will be influenced by the wind. These characteristics combine togehter to make it feel as though the hovercraft has a mind of its own. The first time you try to control a hovercraft on a string, you'll feel more like you're walking an enthusiastic dog than pulling around a toy. But with practice, it is possible to get quite good at controlling your craft. <br><br> Not convinced? Then you'll probably want to learn about how to <a href="../rc/rc-hovercraft.html">Add RC to your hovercraft</a> <br><br> But before you start attaching RC equipment, consider this: a GH hovercraft on a string is a fairly inexpensive toy that you'll be more willing to risk losing. And yet, with a string, the odds of losing your hovercraft to dangers such as oncoming traffic or a swift current are much lower. A string makes hovercrafting trouble-free. <hr> <br><br> To go back to the main page, click here for the <a href="../MainPage.html">Goldstein Hovercraft</a> main page. <br><br> If you do not see a table of contents on the left side of your screen, click here for the <a href="../index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newWindow'); return false;"> Goldstein Hovercraft</a> web site. <hr> © Goldstein Hovercraft, LLC
