Hi All

I probest a build post on the LCAC as this is my first hovercraft and as yet bigest rc build i desided to start with a prototype. this hull is as far i can work out around final size and 1/35 scale. I may end up using this hull depending on a few thing but crose that bridge when i come to it. So i know she may not look much like an LCAC but id rather find out what im dealing with before i start on the good one.

And how i fist cut out the top part of the hull to 750mm X 400mm then find dead centre mester and cut hole for prop then cut the under bord i found this improved the lift power of the egine on the cardbord prototypes then put the skrit on witch is made from a bin liner ( stil desided on what the real one will be ) Next step what for motor to arive make up a mounting piont instal wier up speed contorer to radio powere it up and se what happens

stay tuned

left motor turned up today so all being well should get some form of lift off tonight

Any chance of a video clip?

once i get her hovering ill do my best

Hi mate over the weekend went to a model boat show and there was a big american assault hovercraft there, model was about 36" long by 15" wide. I got talking to the owner and asked about skirt material, he had made his from the thin modern tent material its like a thin nylon with a waterproof/windproof coating. I thought about you asking for material ideas so I have been keeping my eye open if its any help.
