How it works:
A single 12.5 hp+ vertical shaft lawnmower engine turns a four blade 24-inch ducted lift fan and a 36 inch ducted propeller. The propeller is belt driven with a reduction drive system. This single engine design is quiet, simple, reliable, and has been successfully built and flown by students in hundreds of schools and colleges throughout the world.
How it’s made:
It's built from a foam and plywood sandwich construction. The combination of these materials makes a low cost, high strength composite structure that is completely un-sinkable.
Joystick Steering:
The 10F2 teaches the principles of hovering; riding on a cushion of air, thrust and lift, and how to operate a craft not in contact with the ground or water. Joystick steering controls rudders for precise control. Stop the 10F2 by reducing power, or have fun and pull a 180 reverse thrust stop. Landing skids built into the bottom allow quick emergency stopping.
​
Flying a hovercraft:
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 hovercraft very quickly.
Where to fly:
The 10F will operate on land, water, snow, ice, mud, parking lots, football fields, ponds and rivers. Speed varies over each terrain. Basically, it will run on any relatively smooth surface. Smoother terrain will allow the craft to achieve higher speeds while rough terrain will slow the craft.
