Hey... yet another newbie in your realm. This is my first competition, and one of my first modelling experiences. Please be ruthless in your commentary, so long as it is more helpful than painful.

Here is my first sketch of my vehicle. I'll get some models up and running as soon as possible.

This guy has rigged up a jet engine he found floating in the everglades. He prefers to feel the air in his face, so he opted for the saddle over the cockpit. More of a rush. Steering is done with reins. guess he's a modern cowboy.

lol. that looks like alot of fun. Just make sure you got a gyroscope on board so you can retain your balance. Otherwise blam the kid would be sucked into the engine and there would be bergers for dinner. There were some projects that the military worked on that involved a turbofan pointing up with several gyros to maintain balance. then all the person would have to do is lean in the direction they wanted to go and they would go. Plus they were able to be off the ground my 50ft. or more
there is video of it somewhere on the net.
