Ultralight Hovercraft

My self designed 14 HP, single engine, 50 Kilogram hovercraft making a water to grass transition. Inspiration for the design comes from UH (universal hovercraft) examples: see www.hovercraft.com. In particular I use the same kind of skirt.

I'm looking at getting plans from Universal Hovercraft. I've seen you refer people to them for construction plans. Your hovercraft is a better looking than pretty much all of theirs. Very nicely done! Also, I was wondering with your single engine, what are you using to transfer power to spin the lift fan?

@wlindenlaub thanks about the looks of my hovercraft but really it's not the same ballpark in construction time. My craft took many years to build, it came out well but if I was to do it again I would have made it simpler and faster to build. That is why I am not publishing plans for my craft, not for now at least. The UH designs are great because they combine simplicity and good performance. Particularly the UH13PT (twin trainer) with two engines

@wlindenlaub The transmission to the lift fan is a shaft from a forest clearing saw. I discuss it on one of the other comments on this channel.
