Wow! Very cool! I'd love to have one to play with in my bath!

Wow! How big a bath have you got??

What surprises me is how well ot 'flies'. Someone must have done avery careful balancing job on it.

Really cool - now how can I create the Tholian web in the neighbors pool...?

Looks like a lot of fun! The article accomanying the video says they built a Borg cube as well. Can't find any video footage of that though.

Pushing a cube through water like that must be interesting. I guess they don't get up that much speed but still, anything above a crawl must really have to have to have some power behind it unless they run it corner first.

Yes, that's why I was so interested in finding some video. This group has several models of the Enterprise as well as a Voyager model. Really some interesting mechanics involved. Interesting to me anyway.
