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

Picture shows the marking made by the hovercraft

thanks!!
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

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.

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!
