Title: 2016 Sweepstakes - Hovercraft 1/16 scale SNR5
Post by: ashok baijal on October 19, 2016, 06:02:54 PM
Because of my personal problems have taken sanayas from RC. But with sweepstakes coming up got firedup to start a hovercraft build. Don't know if I will be able to complete by December, but no harm in trying.

Drew the rough plan today. Will decide on materials as I build. The plan with today's newspaper

Thanks Rai sahib.

The hovercraft build has started to take shape. Based on the top and side view, drew a pattern for the cabin and after markingiton 3mm Coro cut it off. The side panels will be  folded vertical as shown. More details will follow as I further design the components.

The build is moving slowly as workable plans are not there. While building the model, I have started drawing the plan on Sketch up and will keep on updating on 3DWarehouse site (https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=5289ed30-a76f-407a-9381-208998153c18). Will update on RCIndia once the cabin structure is complete so as not to bore the audience with small small steps.
