I have a pool and heres what I've found.
1. Hovercraft floats, but I recomend taping the front door where the hydro sled goes. Does anyone know what the compartment under the WHALE is for?!?!?!?! I was thinking of cutting a block of foam to put in there when I put it in the pool. 2. Hydrofoil floats very well 3. Moccasin floats poorly without modification 4. devslfish floats okay 5. Spytroops piranha floats nicely, but the motor is almost useless. Iv'e been thinking of using that spray foam to enhance the buoyancy on the W.H.A.L.E. and water Moccasin. I also made a preasure treated plywood floor for the Flagg. I pre-drilled some holes to attach it to the fagg's bulkheads. I then attached three enclosed 4 inch diameter PVC plumbing tubes so that I can float it in my pool. With four sky strikers or five Conquest X-30s its a 10 on the coolness factor!!! THAT we need pics of! Not b/c we don't believe you, but b/c it is everyone's dream and sounds just so f-ing cool!!!! pics pics pics please!!!!

iron man, I have always been of the mind the the compartment on the bottom of the whale was either a place to store your file cards or it was orginaly designed to be battery operated, as a kid I always wonderd why it was there also. AND YES WE ALL WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE FLAGG ON THE HIGH SEA. PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE....

the best floater was the cobra ''night lander'' i think, little blue raft.....i wonder how many joes died because of the water?...my friend had a pool and the flagg, we would set it up next to the pool and play with the whale and moray in the water...moray would sink fairly easy

Memories........I had many adventures with my whale and hydrofoil in the pool. I would do big splashes to imitate depth charges and sink em. Lost a few pieces in the process but it was still fun.
