Still working on it. All I need is a space to work in.
The thing I like more than prototyping is flight testing. The only thing better than loud/fast is...
Unfortunately I can't fully reveal my work yet. Technology that China doesn't know exists...The lake testing is 2020. The rest is only months ago...

Big day...after weeks of flight testing and modifications...one of the more elusive features of the secret new machine tested successful just an hour ago. 1st ever release photo of said machine, as no details are discernable...This machine is a game changer and so far has succeeded in every groundbreaking design function... Perseverance....

I appologize if this is late getting out. The launch of Hoversled will be delayed. Supply chain issues and Covid restrictions. I have obtained materials to make plastic parts in the meantime. Stay safe and be wise during this time...

New Hoversled downhill speed record set in St. Cloud yesterday on an icy slope... 26mph! Are Hoverleds the fastest sleds around?
Hoversled update: Completion of the very first production sleds are only days away...however supply chain issues are impacting/ slowing the process.

Pleased to announce that, after a 5 month build, initial testing of the new machine this week went very well. The proof of concept machine will undergo simple improvements before the next round of testing but it has already broke the overland hoversled speed record over snow no less! It's a blast to fly as well...
Also, this is to announce construction of the first production hoversleds has just begun...really hoping to have one in Salt Lake City near the end of the month. Be sure to let me know if you'd like to get on the list for a sled this winter...or for the summer! We will be ramping up volume as the year continues. (2 sled versions will be avalailable - S90X Alpine and S70 Classic)

Awesome news...I just struck a tentative deal with a local business to outsource all of the frame parts! Things are falling into place....

Testing improvements made to the new alpine model in STC today....continuing to smash speed and distance records. Today we hit 24.15 mph...the fastest recorded speed yet. Smashed distance by a good 50' too in ideal snow conditions. Nothing but a Hoversled will glide for the length of a football field past the bottom of the hill! Meeting with the prospective subcontractor tomorrow...hopefully some indoor testing too... I haven't quite figured out when I'm going to begin testing the new machine. Waiting for warmer temps to return...

Flight ready! 5:05pm 1/5/2020. After 5 long months. I gotta say, it's quite an impressive looking machine...2 additional phases of the program to be added once first round of testing the proof of concept is completed...

Another important milestone for the new machine...all circuits verified operational...almost done!

Happy New Year! Hoversled update...I am working diligently on the new machine and it will hopefully be complete by the weekend. A 5 month and very expensive build! Goose bumps when I powered up one of the main circuits the other day and it came to life according to design...innovations continue as the build progresses.
There are currently 5 classifications of Hoversled...and over 150 possible custom configurations! I spend over 10 hours each day on multiple builds...and a very important breakthrough this week on the sled we tested in Idaho.
Last month, I also struck a deal in Salt Lake City with an e-bike manufacturer to showcase the sled to attract winter time business. That took all of 30 minutes!
Next step is to contract with a supplier to make some of the parts so we can focus on assembly and can produce enough sleds to pay rent and go into business :)

Today is an exciting day for Hoversled...the machine has moved into the VAB (vehicle assembly building) for final wiring and cowlings...Ready by Christmas??? This machine has been conceptualized since March, and construction began in earnest in August...a 5 month build (I built the 2020 Alpine in 10 days!) I have wanted it to be turn key ready in its first testing....This machine is game changer. Hoversled is the most versatile ultralight hovercraft system in history.
