Dollar Tree foam Hovercraft

by racer7c | March 27, 2014 | (14) Posted in Just Fun

Well the weather here in Illininois has pretty much kept us grounded with our planes... So with all the gear we had laying around Bill thought a hovercraft was in order.  Its made with regular dollar tree foam, a raincoat for the skirt, a 70g motor for the the lift and blue wonder for the directional thrust.This is version 1 learning from it version 2 is almost done. I can up some build instructions and plans if anyone is interested.
