Catch It Now

If you have ever thought of making one of those flying model planes, this is a cheaper and much more satisfying alternative. You can get a piece of visquene off any building site skip (enough to cover the board) -it was less than 4 by 2 ft. The only expense was the leaf blower. Noisy and petrol driven but I was very tempted. Any grit on an uneven road and you will have problems. But then you can get over them with more visquene. I wonder if a three way hinged board and draught excluder brushes would be more of an off roader. Perhaps with a Briggs and Stratton racing motor? It really has possibilities. (Mainly for the chancellor of the exchequer if it ever takes off, although I could see them replacing shopping trolleys in Milton Keynes any decade now.) |

You can get to it via their website if you have java and other scripts enabled. Also, if you are quick enough, you can catch the repeat at noon today Channel Five. |
