  • I doubt it because the skirt must trap a cushion of air in order to float. In order to work on grass, the skirt design must be changed substantially, for example a very soft and compliant rubber. Also, if the hovercraft is heavier to keep it close to the ground, then a bigger power supply is also needed to drive it.

  • We used a commercial servo, HS-55.

  • did you make the servo urself or buy it

  • We used a commercial Hitec HS-55 servo.
