PC fan hovercraft

This is a project me and some friends are working on at school, It`s a hovercraft. We are going to be adding thrust to it and turning rudders. This is our second attempt. The first one was a failure. Fortnally this one works really well. It is using 2x 92mm Tornado pc fans and some other assorted materials.

how do you make the plastic thing under sry 4 my bad english (norwegian)

[bobbilcon]

I took a thick plastic bag. Trash bags are too thing, you have to find something that you cant puncture with a little force, Then you lay the body of the craft ontop of the bag in the center. Measure a inch or so around the outside of your craft and cut. Then in the middle of the new sheet cut a square hole in the middle, about half the size of your craft. Then fold the edges over so you have alittle of the platic ontop of the craft. Then adhear. I used ducttape to stick it.
