I tried it with a piece of plywood, It got off the ground but didn't move around to well. Besides the fact, electricity isn't portable. I don't think it was big enough either.

it works instead of using my old skateboard i used a peice of chipboard and made up a skirt and stuck it on then got a petrol leaf blower and got an old bag cut a hole in it and put an old vacum cleaner hose were the tube thing was and stuck that through the chipboard i can move forward by leaning forward its rather slow and you cant really turn might get a old whipper snipper and put a blade on it and put that on the back to go forward adnd be able to turn and stuff
