Default RC Hovercraft: A question.

Ok I am going to be making a RC hovercraft soon. I will be using an impeller for propulsion, and it will have half a kg of thrust, is this good?

Now I am undecided, do you think I should use a seperate power source for the impeller for propulsion and a seperate power source for the engine to fill the skirt? Or should I share the power source?

Another thing I don't know about is the steering. Is it going to work if I steer by rotating the whole impeller?

How powerful do you think my engine for the skirt should be?

I am undecided about the size, but it will probably be about 60cm long and I don't know how wide yet.

Please answer the questions as I do not know about the things stated above.


Thanks in advance, very appreciative to all those who help out
