Title: Scratch Built HoverCraft Post by: MavRKB on December 22, 2014, 01:32:20 AM After watching videos done by diehardrcaddicts, I wanted to make by own hovercraft.
I started on drawing on Sketchup, I designed the hovercraft according to my specs, what materials i had, motor, ESCs, battery... here is the video of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRZz-4z-SfE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRZz-4z-SfE) Picture shows the marking made by the hovercraft Title: Re: Scratch Built HoverCraft Post by: miginstruments on December 22, 2014, 11:35:53 AM ll you post some pics of the craft as well. I ve also started to build one. ll be posting a log soon.

Final specs of the hovercraft 1* 3548 kv1100 80amps ESC with 11"10 prop(as lift motor). 1* 2836 kv1120 30amps ESC with 10"6 prop(as pusher). 2* 3000 mAh 30C 3S. those who want to make their own hovercraft, here is the link for the sketchup model that i uploaded, you can scale it down to any size and then make pdf for the parts of it https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=u5c18e85e-719e-4bf7-8516-94d9db0e5014 if someone hasa 3D printer then they can print this hovercraft too, just scale it to any size and you are good to go, here is the link for that file https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=u2bd31dc1-cf2a-4223-902a-08fa35d93707 Title: Re: Scratch Built HoverCraft Post by: miginstruments on December 23, 2014, 12:13:08 AM Very Nice, 80 amps esc, that makes sense, I am using 20 amps for both the lift n pusher. Maybe I ll go for higher rating esc in future, but as of now I ve already started the process. Thanks for the details.

Title: Re: Scratch Built HoverCraft Post by: VC on January 17, 2015, 10:12:59 PM Congratulations on the build. However, I feel you are going a little overboard by labelling the video as "The best video ever of scratch built hovercraft!!" Search on this forum and YT and you may find a few other examples.
Whatever, she is FAST! |
