This changes the whole game. If this thing stays together they will wipe the floor with the competition in SBI.

Well, can't say I blame him...if I had the $$ I'd probably use it to beat the competition, and take the crown. For years, the old Geico mystic did the same.

I believe the key is to try to cutoff fuel to the turbines whenever the prop leaves the water, to save the driveshaft from snapping. The turbines don't spool down quickly enough by throttling alone. Let the turbines keep spinning, just with no power behind them.
