Ive made 2 hovercrafts before. the first one was probably 1 1/2'X3' and the second one was probably 1 1/2'X4 1/2'. contrary to all that I had expected, the little one which was made from 1/4" wood, masking tape and visqueen worked much better than the one with duct tape and stronger, although the ductape one will support heavier weights. _ My brothers on the Smaller. And the larger is running. (Sorry for the bad quality on the small one, it was from a cell phone while it was moving.)

look into arrowprop.com good prices and props for everything

Im new here so gimme a brake. lol. i was looking at the hovercraft plans and feel i to can make a screaming death machine. all i have to work with is a 12.5 hp 18.5 hp and a 3.5 hp side pully motor. im planning to use a blade from a 4ft box fan for lift and a large blade from a a/c condenser for push.to handle the extra weigth. im thinking 5/8 marine plywood. I live at the coastal plains of texas and the swamps make a good place to run into trouble. just one thing bothers me. will the craft rise high enough to go go over a alligator? it seems to bother me that it could be a problematic. its the little things that bring us joy. as far as my skills. i have 30 yrs in maintenance and contruction plus almost every tool there is. soon i hope to add a recipe for home made wine if anyone wants it thanks to all

I built a UH-10f (plans can be found here).

My hovercraft is the size of a small car, and seats one person, maybe two if they're small. It uses a single 10 hp horizontal shaft engine with a diversion box to create lift. The rest of the power goes to thrust. It is powerful enough to blow you over at 5 feet, so no issues with power. I will post an instructable about it soon.

i have seen on junkyard wars a squirrel cage fan used for lift and push i just cant find one for mine. i have the motor, body, and all the rest. i also have 2 36in 4blade fans out of attic fan boxes. so the hunt is on againlol.

im working on the blue prints for a single eletric engine. iv had this in mind for so long

I'm in the process of drafting plans for a two person, car sized hover craft. When I'm done I'll post them as a forum to get some feed back before i invest too much money. all of your help would be appreciated.

If i had a bit more money to play with id like to my friend has a Chevrolet 305 engine he wants to do something with haha that would power quite a big hovercraft.

I was planning on making one this weekend, and I should get my camera fixed by then. I'm going to try and make it as compact as possible, and in a circular shape. Hopefully it'll be cheap and easy to make. My target cost is somewhere under $100. Not quite sure how that's gonna turn out, but I'm hoping for the best.

I know, i'm too cheap to buy them or bother making them, I make most things from junk around my house.

I'm in the planning stages of building a large hovercraft, but not an 8' long one. I'm trying to work out if i can make it bike powered. No gas or batteries needed!
