Saw a post about building a hovercraft, was in between esc's for my other boats and had some parts and materials laying about and thought I might just give it a try myself.
I was given a piece of Kerdi-Board, which is a fabric reinforced dense foam board used for tile work.
Cut the basic shape and started piecing it together.
So far it has worked but the 2204 2100kv motor was a bit light for the lift fan and was overheating the 30 amp esc. I changed it to a 2208 1900kv motor on the same esc and it still warms up but not as bad. The duct is 6 1/8 inch and the 3 blade prop is a cut down 7045 x 3. I heard somewhere square tips are better in a duct.
The rear duct is also 6 1/8 inch but it still has the 2204 motor and is only using a 2 blade 6045. That is a little over powered for thrust but I can adjust the endpoints if need be. The lift fan is on a VR now as the return on the stick was making it awkward starting up. The wiring is a bit of a spaghetti junction right now but once I have got everything working how I want it and painted the wee beastie I will clean up that mess.
