[@Motronic944]

Somebody sent this video to me because they knew I used to run one of these things for a fire department. I have two huge word of caution for you when you get on open water: TRIM TAB. So here's the deal: you do fine once you're up on your cushion of air going forward, but the more you give her the spurs the more the front end starts pointing down unless you're setting the trim tab. Let the front end dip at 40+ MPH (which that will EASILY do) and the front end catches in the water. It will feel like you ran into something and you will likely get hurt being thrown forward. So whenever you feel the nose dip, get off of the noisy lever, raise your trim and try again. You'll get the hang of it.

When unloading have people push the craft from the front after the rails are installed and make sure the rails are above the bags when inflated so no damage to the bags when coming or going off the trailer.

[@trentongulley6641]

@Lassi Kinnunen LCACs have turbine engines. Although a drag car consumes alot of gas in 2 minutes, I dont think it consumes the fuel like powering 2 turbine engines do. When I got deployed we had 2 LCACs on board, and they were massive. Had to of been at least 200 feet long and over 100 feet wide. They had a crew of at least 15 people on each one. It takes teamwork to run it.

[@kittty2005]

@@trentongulley6641 only because at that time the government was to cheap to get proper electronics,if Carnival can have cruise ships that only take one man to pilot,these can't possibly be more complicated,I realize that cruise ships have giant diesels and whole crews to run them but 1 or 2 people.

[@trentongulley6641]

@@kittty2005 Okay first of all you're only talking about 1 to 2 people standing watch on cruise ships doing rounds making sure everything looks fine on the diesel engines/equipment, and doing minor wipers while getting readings on equipment for their logs. If they notice anything unusual they will call away a engineering casualty and take care of it the best they can until the engineering casualty team comes down to take over so he can continue roving on his watch. Cruise ships have way more mechanics on board that dont stand watch, and work on the engines when needed(CRT). When I stood watch on my Navy ships, we werent allowed to work on the engines with others if a engineering casualty happened because we have to focus on other stuff and let the crew do the repairs. Let me tell you something since you cant understand why they have a crew that size on a LCAC. They have 2 turbine engines that are seperated from each other, so they have to have 2 of pretty much everything. 2 mechanics, 2 electricians, 2 hydraulic guys, 2 fire fighters, 2 drivers(not 1 like a cruise ship has) to operate forward and reverse while the other operates list and trim bringing the tarp up with air like cleetus 2nd engine does, 2 navigation plotters, 2 officers in charge of each bridge, the Commanding officer of that LCAC, and then dont forget all the other guys it takes to help make the operation work which are the sewing people who repair holes on tarp, the regular crew attached who help bring on vehicles or equipment as well start up/shut down procedures including unanchoring or anchoring, washing down LCAC with fresh water after every operation, standing watch when not operating and there is probably other stuff im missing. An LCAC is not some simple fire & rescue 1 man hovercraft or a simple cruise ship you steer in open waters not worrying about hitting anything. Get the point?

Hovercrafts are perfect for rescue on frozen lakes. They'll travel over the ice just fine but if the ice is too weak or the lake isn't completely frozen they will go on water no problem. In the winter, you gott bring this up to Michigan with the SXS boys and try it on a frozen lake. I'll bet it flies!

Some tracks bring in dirt for dirt events. Cleetus is going to close the drains and flood it.

[@stephenbartels7860]

Call it Rovey.

They need to dig up some of that pretty grass to put a pond in at the Freedom Factory.

We are witnessing the early days of McFarland Performance Hovercraft.

@KZbin Isbroken ur right though

[@zacberrry4973]

They make hovercraft in my home town in the UK. And when I was young they had massive people hovercraft that went across the channel from Dover to France amazing machines. She's a beast cleetus bud

[@JustInvertedFpv]

I rode on an 80ft long hovercraft in Southport/Surfers Paradise Australia back in the late 80's. It was awesome. They did 360's with it. It was so cool!

[@travispeoples]

As Finnegan is to ramp trucks, Cleetus is to hovercrafts...

[@ronjones-6977]

Very true, but the hovercraft didn't break down on the way home.

This turned into a hovercraft channel so gradually, I didn't even notice.

[@watahyahknow]

heared that hovercrafts make gread icebreakers they make pirouettes on the ice and the weird waves that creates cracks the ice right up i bet it makes a great snowblower too , cleans the driveway out in a gurry as long as the snow isnt compacted yet

[@tylermott677]

Hot dang , that light bar! New T-shirt coming at us.

[@Omegacron37]

The Freedom Factory needs to replace that track cleaning blower with a hovercraft.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Scat n Rescue for track drying after a shower, then get Cleetus to rent out to NASCAR events as rain-delay crew, hovercraft on high banks gotta be fun.

This channel has helped me decide that I never want a hovercraft. Looks like something you want to borrow for an hour and then be happy you didn't buy one.

Real talk. The new toy high looks like it’s wear off quick here...there’s a reason you don’t see them often and it isn’t the price. Rad in theory, boring in reality.

Ol Cleeter done got hooked on the amphibious boats. LOL

[@CockatooDude]

This looks like an older model from Universal Hovercraft. They also have a model called the 19 XRW Hoverwing which has a fully enclosed cockpit and detachable wings which enable it to fly in ground effect if you get a high enough speed. I think Cleetus might be interested in trying that one out as well lol.

[@BrandonLanczak]

I think I found a perfect vehicle for that jet engine that was slated for the el Camino

[@jaybrooks1098]

It needs a better bag system. Should get a loop skirt or a hybrid skirt. They are more stable than a segmented skirt. Especially on a boat that big.

[@chrisgroves1539]

The ramp truck will be cool as a launch vehicle. It just needs a blown big block.
