sorry about the quality but i hadn't good camera
and i had to use internet cam so... you know
but the design is not really changed
it is bigger (53cm diameter)
i used lighter plastic film
shorter skirt
and the tunnel has been done with more care
the propellor is the same
and as you can see IT USES 9V so it is more-pure-lego :))) than the first
version
it drifts because it has almost no friction at all
so even the wire can tilt the body and then the air escapes from the oposite
side

i'm proud of it (excluding the quality of photos and movies)
it even lifts my roller :)))

regards

(...) This is Really neat!!!! I noticed it seems to drift to one side (the heavy side) as you point out. Perhaps this could be used to steer it. Could a small weight that is shifted to the direction of travel be possible? Best regards, Paul (...) (22 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
