I saw the original Michael Connally video on the web and immediately knew that I had to have something like this. Then I got bogged down in researching which one to buy! There seem to be the most enormous amount of different models of "hydro foam" ("hydrofoam"?) models available. I am looking for one which is ready-to-fly, robust, reliable and with good range (and therefore altitude) (at least 250m). ebay offers a thing called Flydroboat but its marketing video is for another manufacturer's model - does anyone know how the Flydroboat performs? There is also a lot of talk about the Storm Launcher though I get the impression that its operating range is a bit low and I gather that it is not really powerful enough to get proper flight. There are various other machines (hydro hawk, walkera, miss hangar one, flyingpowerboat, etc.) made by various companies but am getting very confused by what's on offer. Should I be aiming for something made of EPP? Or is Depron acceptable? If so, 3mm or 6mm? Sorry for all the various points but I really need someone to be able to point me in the right direction. Any help would be gratefully received. Budget: =A3150-ish. Please bear in mind that I am in the UK when it comes to the places I can buy. Thanks, Ringo
