UH-8FS Personal or Racing Hovercraft

This is an awesome entry level hovercraft.

A single 10 hp Briggs & Stratton horizontal shaft engine turns a two blade 34-inch ducted propeller that provides both lift and thrust. This single engine design is both simple and reliable, and has been operated in varying conditions throughout the world. The 8F complies with the Hoverclub of America Entry Level racing requirements.

It's built from a foam and marine plywood sandwich construction. The combination of these materials makes a low cost, high strength composite structure that is un-sinkable.
Driving the craft is easy as it has only two controls; steering and throttle. Slowly advancing the throttle will bring the craft up on cushion. Adding a little more power accelerates the craft. Speed is easily controlled by increasing or decreasing engine rpm. First time pilots can learn to operate the craft in a very short period of time.

The craft will operate on land, water, snow, ice, mud, parking lots, football fields, ponds and rivers. Speed varies over each terrain. Smoother terrain will allow the craft to achieve higher speeds while rough terrain will slow the craft.
