the best videos

The two best videos that i think will help me is one of my video and one of d'angelo's viedo. on his video, there are two girls that are making a hovercraft. theirs work fine in smooth ground. they took it outside and it didnt work out. they saw their problem which was that it was to low. they dicided to put the skirt more loosely. this helped them move in all types of ground except for water. the friction was reduced and made it harder to steer. my video will help me because they give you an idea of how to make it. they also give you an idea for steering. the first video had problems with this. since they reduced friction a lot, they couldnt turn good enough. i mean they were using water gung. i mean really.waterguns?? that is how the videos are going to help me build my hovercraft.

15-20 sentences

The videos that I posted helped me start my hovercraft. I have an idea of how to do it now. The shapes that i saw was an oval, a rectangle, and a hexagon. i think i am going to go with the regular and most often used. one of the videos have also helped me to get an idea of how to make it turn. they used two pieces of wood to make it turn. the driver had a string on the fans. the best idea is to use light stuff. we should use stiro foam for a chair and put the leaf blowers iunder it. im going to try to put as much weight in the sides to even thing out. we are also are going to use a light person. You might ask why, right. the reason is to keep the hovercraft light as possible. the reason is to keep it off the ground.im going to use ideas from all of the videos. this would make it very powerful and invisible.
