This airboat can not run on dry ground. I do not recommend it. What you can do that is so cool is run over water plants and you can launch it from shore w/o throwing it forward like most power boats with props in the water. It will not get tangled in weeds. You can zip it right off shore into the water and back on to shore again w/o wading in there to get it. Just be aware sometimes the clevis might come loose and you lose steering. Also, do NOT run this boat in wind as it WILL flip on the turns. Fortunately, it recovers well from the flips.
