Kangaroo - the land surfing vehicle

Alright, so you think you’re a pilot. Hell, you’re a great pilot, aren’t you?
You’ve seen it all, you’ve flown it all.
Mach 2 in a canyon? Check.
Gliding from one island to another with an empty fuel tank? Check.
Any of those cool things they did in Top Gun? Check.

But.. are you a great driver too?

Cruising at 10,000 ft? Forget that. It’s surfin’ time!

The Kangaroo is a great plane. Light, agile, nice looking and Simple as well. And cheap, you can get it for free right now!!
The catch? There’s no catch.
Well..
Except it has no propeller.

But hey, you get four wheels and a powerful engine!
———————————————
Do you have what it takes to keep the Kangaroo alive?
— Hug the terrain!
— Use a terrain bump to give yourself a boost, then glide for another.
— Touch the ground whenever you can.
— Don’t lose your momentum!
— Be gentle and precise.
— FULL THROTTLE
— Use BOTH the wheels (yaw) and the control surfaces (pitch, yaw, roll) to control the thing. It doesn’t behave like a car.

It’s like driving a buggy that can glide.
Seriously, it’s FUN!
