FPV RC Hovercraft

I designed this model to be large enough to work on multiple surfaces and transitions(grass, water, pavement, etc.)  

The hovercraft floats on water when the motors are off, thanks to the foam bumper and float assembly in the hull.  Vapor smoothing or waterproofing required for float assembly.

This is a high quality design as I am a professional machine design engineer. There is a pdf of the assembly drawings in the downloads to show you how to assemble.  There is also a list of purchase components below.
