Status: offline 		I couldn't find anything on skirt design. I know how they float on a cushion of air and stuff but I was just wondering what you guys use for a design of it. Anyone have a hovercraft with underside pics?? I'll search more after this post. Thanks!

Status: offline 		i cut up a black garbage bag and taped it on, doesnt look to bad

then you cut small holes in for the air to escape, not to big or it wont float but not too small or it will get to big
experiment cut a few and try it, cut a few more if you have to and you can always put a piece of tape over the holes

her is a picture of mine:

Status: offline 		it'll still float if there's enough pressure being blown into the bottom.. I gotta get some pics of mine that I built I have the whole center section open underneath. I have an idea of how to build it better I just haven't had time to do it yet. I'll post pics sometime though.
