They are interesting machines. Probably the neatest one he ever built was actually very small - one person, three engines and he used two inner tubes from a large tractor tire for the skirts. The engines were Chinese knockoff's of the popular Honda 6 hp DOHC grass mower engines. Thing was cool as heck. |

Some of the Universal Hovercraft models use a vertical shaft lawnmower enginer (like a 5hp Briggs) for the lift fan, and then usually a twin two smoke like a snowmobile engine for the thrust. That's what the older model that I built had. I bought skirt material from UH. |
