Tidy looking lift fan, I have seen similar in a locally owned SRN6, worked well too.

hover tim · « **Reply #37 on:** February 04, 2012, 05:03:30 PM »

the fan was made on a cnc,lasercutter,milling machine so far better than done by hand

hover tim · « **Reply #38 on:** February 07, 2012, 05:42:56 PM »

any info on the SRN6 i have got a few thoughts of who it may of been

unbuiltnautilus · « **Reply #39 on:** February 08, 2012, 03:48:23 PM »

Belongs to my mate Ahmed and built on the Isle of Wight by...can't remember his name

Really impressive model, although your BH7 is starting to look like it will give the SRN6 a run for its money!!

Noisy little sods, those puff ports

hover tim · « **Reply #42 on:** February 10, 2012, 06:32:30 PM »

yes there EDF fans mounted in the model i dont think they are needed really and its more weight for the model to carry

more of the rook lats have been put on today and the bow door has been ajusted so it opens futher

Hover Tim · « **Reply #44 on:** April 09, 2012, 05:27:04 PM »

well its been a while but i have managed to do quite a bit since the last post i have mounted the motor and prop cut the pilots cabin windows out and finished the lats on the roof and bow door i have cut the windows out and started the lats down one side

Hover Tim · « **Reply #45 on:** June 02, 2012, 09:39:00 PM »

Well after a few weeks off i got back to it today more lats have been put on the side and some deatil has been done on the side door

Interesting build. Really looking forward to seeing how you make the "skirts".
Colin

Hover Tim · « **Reply #48 on:** June 03, 2012, 03:56:58 PM »

the skirt will be subcontracted but i do know a bit about skirts what interests you

colin-stevens · « **Reply #49 on:** June 03, 2012, 05:38:23 PM »

Hoping we are both refering to the same type of Skirts here. I was looking forward to how you would design the skirt to get that "bulbuous" effect.

Hover Tim · « **Reply #50 on:** June 03, 2012, 08:22:47 PM »

i think we are

designing a skirt is not easy have a look at http://www.rc-hovercraft.co.uk/infoframes.html click on downloads its heavy reading mind click on skirt calculator

unbuiltnautilus · « **Reply #51 on:** June 05, 2012, 02:34:50 PM »

Looking good, what colour scheme are you anticipating on using?

Hover Tim · « **Reply #52 on:** June 06, 2012, 08:01:51 PM »

this is the schems i have chosen http://www.flickr.com/photos/19759955@N07/6559838877/in/set-72157627625929657 but without such items like the life boat on the side

Hover Tim · « **Reply #53 on:** August 04, 2012, 09:35:55 PM »

its been a while but i managed to get back on the build i have done all the lats at last so next job i think is working puff ports that go on the front two each side these steal lift air and vent it from either side to push the front end left or right

TheLongBuild · « **Reply #54 on:** August 04, 2012, 09:38:01 PM »

Looking Good, You Going to the Boat Convention at Haydock ?.

Hover Tim · « **Reply #55 on:** August 04, 2012, 10:39:48 PM »

Yes i will be there with Kirklees model boat club with this model and a red Griffon 2000

Hover Tim · « **Reply #56 on:** October 06, 2012, 05:04:14 PM »

I am slowly getting on with the BH7 i Recently i have made the puff ports these pop out from the side decks to direct air left or right they are quite effective on the full size craft but i doubt they will do anything at model size they will be hinged later but i have used masking tape for now

Hover Tim · « **Reply #57 on:** December 20, 2012, 06:30:35 PM »

Puff ports work now and connected to a servo and work on the pylon has started

Its been a while since my last post as I have been getting her ready for paint so lots of sanding and not very interesting to see but that's done now and I have started work on the rivet detail this will take a long time but will be worth it in the end the first pic is the last coat of sealer waiting to be sanded

Stan · « **Reply #60 on:** May 01, 2013, 05:11:30 PM »

Hi Tim. Looking good. Will be on our water this year? What about the paint job are you going to use spray cans? Finally what is the colour scheme applied on this vessel?

Stan.

Hover Tim · « **Reply #61 on:** May 01, 2013, 07:50:35 PM »

Cheers Stan
I am hoping to get it on the water this year but only time will tell

, yep I will use Halfords spray paint for the model as for the colour scheme its
