Very informative video from the Curious Droid channel on YouTube on “The Caspian Sea Monster” = USSR giant ground effect vehicle.
Paul Shillito’s Curious Droid channel has a ton of Aerospace content.
In Oshkosh 03′ I got to see a Lippisch single seat Wing in Ground Effect WIG vehicle at the hangers at the pioneer airport. It’s still likely on the EAA grounds
As a Customer of Fiber Glast I highly recommend their fiber glass and carbon fiber selection.
I’m not an affiliate for them but wanted to let the readers of the web site and Composites book know about it.
Hopefully this will aid in your Composites project.

Laser level projectors can be a valuable tool on aircraft and car builds.
This unit from Tacklife is truly impressive, it runs on common AA batteries and can be tri pod mounted via a standard 1/4″-20 thread.
Here i am using a laser projector to align (left to right) my tail wheel spring socket for bonding.
A great video from Tucker Gott, flying over an Aircraft grave yard in his Paramotor.
If your into low and slow aviation videos his channel is worth checking out.
He also has a web page at: https://tuckergott.com/
Compared to general aviation, with paramotors you can own an aircraft under the cost of a car and store it in an apartment closet. Does not get easier than this.
Great airspace map for General aviation & Drone pilots
