Rudy Heeman is a New Zealander who built a flying hoverwing. He did it with parts taken from his wife's car, his daughter's scooter and an old gas bottle from his barbecue.

It is a flying hover wing that doesn't have tires and it does not go high off the ground but when its up and going it can go up to 100kp/h. In Nelson he has a little workshop where he made the hoverwing. The hoverwing can hover over the ground, it can drive on water like a boat and it can fly at low levels.

Rudy put his hoverwing on Trademe and over 50 people bided on it. At the end of the auction a man in Christchurch bought it for $27,500 leaving Rudy $27,500 richer. With this money he bought his wife her dream car. We all want to know what his awesome mind is going to create next but all he is telling us is that his next invention will fly.
