It’s been in question whether the Micro Hovercraft could run on water. Knowing that it wasn’t designed to be able to run on water, I wouldn’t originally have thought about trying it.

Credit for the idea actually goes to YouTube member cojicoji1026 and his/her video “HOVER Q p l a y o n w a t e r !” which you can view here – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va99sOgv4OQ

It’s too bad the Micro Hovercraft wasn’t designed to be used on water also, because it’s lots of fun to play with on water and actual functions better than on land. Using the tape to cover the charging tabs does make it usable on water, but it’s a bit of a hassle to do for just a couple minutes of run time. Afterward you have to remove the tape, let it charge for another 40 minutes, then apply more tape if you want to run it on water again.

Comments: I’m giving this a 2 out of 5 rating. It’s fun for a short while, literally. The 40 minute charge time and around 2 minute running time is a bit of a turn off. 2 minutes isn’t much time to enjoy it, and 40 minutes is just too long to wait. It only really runs well on super smooth, flat surfaces. It can go pretty fast, but doesn’t steer very well and hard to get it go straight, even after adjusting the steering trim. It’s a neat little gimmick though, a micro hovercraft. But, that it’s limited to its terrain and runs for just a couple minutes, it’s only fun for so long.
