The homebuilt fun-WIG by James Greenberger

James Greenberger took the challenge to create his own WIG. He used the shape of a excisting hull and changed it a bit. Made a 3D and started making the bulkheads of the hull. Glued the bulkheads to the caps and glued panels against it all. And ... you have a hull for a WIG.

The wings are PVC coated nylon, like the material used in jumping castles. And the tubes which hold that fabric can slide into the fuselage. That way it still fits in a garage.
