The Project make progress

The frame with extra support on the hull

During the progress i noticed that the solidity of the frame was not as great as i had hoped, so i had to add some struts to the frame.

Detail of the frontside

Detail of the backside

Some times i was so busy with working on the frame i forgot to make pictures of it

A view from above with a temporary skirt (made of a trash bag)

A detail of the lift motor with prop.
For the motor i used a standard 540 motor and the prop is a Graupner.
Diameter 6 x 3 in.

A detail of the backside that was painted.
The skirt was temporary put on with ducktape

Totally finished bottom painted, with the temporary skirt made of strips from a trash bag

My working place, you can see i am now working on the  air intake for the liftmotor.

Its flying, its flying!
Its flying on its own, about 6 cm off the ground.

YES!!!!! it worked.

Take a look at the motor, and see how the prop is turning at full speed (fingers away!).

My hovercraft is not finished yet, i'm now working on the rudder, at the back. When i got more pictures of that i will put them here on this site.
Till so far...
