Search the forum. Tongue And then ask specific questions Smiley Do you already have the parts on hand?

Hi , I have an idea why not buy this hovercraft - http://rcbazaar.com/products/1419-hover-craft.aspx and then change the motor and ,  a servo , receiver and battery

Because I dont think that anyone can make a DIY hovercraft in their first time only , first try this and then think about making one , because for that you will have to design frame , import rubber mat ( I have never seen it in India ) , you will need another motor to lift the hovercraft and thus another battery also .

well if u go for a ready unit like Devang Sir has mentioned, U ll atleast come to know how it works, n what are its important parts. Now u can disassemble the craft n thoroughly observe it then it ll be pretty easier for U to start your own project.

Or you can first try your hand at making an airboat first. Then you can move the electronics over to a hovercraft.
