Hey guys - hovercraft could prove tricky not to mention fiddly.
Have any of u heard of Wing In Ground effect??
It's like a plane but forces air under the wings which gives lift.

Thats how a plane flys but I think that would be hard to make that theory work for a hover craft.

well, no, keen is talking about an actual vehicle design, they do work much like a plane but fly close to the ground (usually water actually)

As far as making one, they have a lot more things to be considered. A hovercraft would be more stable and easier to fly, plus i dont really think a bit motor could proplel somthing like a wig would need. I've made bigger r/c hovers and its not really all that hard. I found a wig kit somewhere online but i never got it since i do not have the area to run one.
