Hello!
« on: January 25, 2011, 05:33:42 pm »
Hi Members.

I am VC from India and I've just joined this forum.

Recently completed a Griffon 2000 Hovercraft. Currently working on a Griffon 8000TD and the LCAC1. Each model is approximately 48 inches X 24 inches.

My first project was an experiment and I am sharing a few pictures and videos here. It features a rigid skirt and a single motor / prop for lift and thrust.

I look forward to learning a lot from all of you.

Regards,

VC

Welcome aboard VC,
Nice looking Hovercraft, is it made from Corex ?. And the skirt looks to be Pipe Lagging,is it ?.

Bang on! Corex is known as Coroplast here. (Corex is a popular brand name for a cough syrup here, incidentally  {-))

Yes, these pipes are used for air conditioning. I used them as I was not too confident about my skirt stitching skills to start off with. Teamed up with another gentleman for the Griffon 2000 project, he built the perfect skirt - but that's a different story.
