| Description: | Among the newest designs in craft aloft and afloat are these: A one man helicopter, easily operated and very maneuverable. Also, an "unsinkable" life boat which is capsize proof. It has a huge ballast tank of sea water which acts as a stabilizer. Establishing shot - A man climbing into a one man helicopter, he buckles up his safety belt, and off he goes. MS - The former RAF pilot is flying his little toy like helicopter about 50 feet off the ground. MS - Wallace's daughter is sitting on a horse watching her father fly around. MS - Wallace bringing his cute little helicopter in for a landing. Next shot takes place in a harbor. A small boat is sitting next to the harbor wall. Interior shot - Inside the cabin you see radios that are set up and radar gear. CUS - The boat's special stabilizer making it impossible for this boat to capsize and to stay capsized. CUS - The inventor and designer of the boat giving a thumbs up. Low Angle Shot - A crane with belts attached to capsize the boat, the boat slowly turning over.
