Default RE: Project - hovercraft?

Wasn't able to do much yesterday, as I went to the river (Delaware) with my family. I brought along my previous airboat, but when I got there, I remembered that my transmitter batteries died! [:@] DOH! So I just spent the time fishing, and it was a good day afterall.

However, before I left I did glue my side assemblies together and attached them to the main hull. I need to sand this and then glue the top piece in. Then I will make the two lift fans. In the end, I think that I may coat the bottom with polyurethane and paint the top, but I am still undecided... I think the grain on the wood is just too nice to cover up.
Once I have the fans and skirt done, it will be interesting to see whether it will hover or not (that is the main challenge of the project) - Then I will have to decide how to make it move forwards
