Well .... not sure about anyone else here . ( even though I'm not a big fan of hovercrafts )
But .. that is one SUPER nice build there ![8D]
Can't wait to see it finished off ( painting and graphics that is )
( ditto on the following the build - sorry couldn't help you , but if you were to see the one I build years ago ..... well , lets just say that yours is a Rolls and mine was a VW )

See if you can load it on youtube.com or see if you can change the format to mpeg or something, because their's no way to get an avi file to upload on RCU videos.

--This probably won't work but try right clicking it, rename it using .mpeg on the end

Good luck

i think it is ironic how james bond's hovercraft was a scat II.
for thoes who don't know, scat is a hovercraft maker, their craft usually use 2-stroke 503-563 rotax motors.

Thanks for the reply Tim. I may have to try my hand at one of these hovercrafts in the future. They look like they could be some good fun!

Your best bet to start with is the Griffon 2000 a craft that is simple to build and large enough t be a fource to be rekond with on the water the plans are free from www.model-hovercraft.com
