This is a pre-production model of a skimmer that we will release next week. A skimmer slides over wet grass, snow, ice or water. This model is called "Fast Eddy" and is listed at $12.00.

You cah tethered it to a pole to go in a circle, on a straight line like a dragster or free.... catch as catch can.

PS
A windshield comes with it too.

Hi, Larry;
     The down thrust is 25º. I wanted it to be straight but in test that did not work out. We needed at least 1/2" ground clearance on the prop tip and that caused a taller model and a wider one to make it not top heavy. Our larger (straight) model "Eddie" worked well on smooth clean surfaces like water but over rough terrain it's nose would raise to much causing the prop to hit. The other problem we had was ground debris being kicked up into the prop, and that could be dangerous. We added the plate under the engine that keeps junk out and when the nose comes up the prop is still clear. The engine angle proved to get the nose back down quicker and make it more stable. It also make it possible to make the over all project smaller and get the price down to $12.00. The smaller skimmer was also faster and so it became "Fast Eddy".
     This engine is a .060 OK R. It is not in production any longer....to bad. They sent this one to me as a demo and I have never run it. Nothing is as good as a Cox....I well get letters about that.

That would be my fantasy job!
