Kill chords, rear safety guard, unmodified engines that ship with full warranty, polyurethane coated nylon anti-plow skirts that last months and years rather than 2 or 3 weeks.

There is a flaw in the way they designed that hovercraft when it comes to the steering. The steering fins are too wide so you don't get as much control as you should. Go look at the way the back of the hovercraft is set up and you'll see that the steering routers are too far apart. Other than that it's a pretty cool design that you can't use that if you're building a humbling because it doesn't supply enough air underneath the skirt for taking off the water surface.
Hello Harry, sorry for the delay getting back to you, we ship to all locations, please contact Ron for more info thru www.hovpod.com which will help explains the models, options and price details
After visiting several hovercraft manufacturers, I must say this outfit seems the most professional and their craft have a little more attention to detail and a more fettled finish. I'm kinda regretting buying a Marlin 3 from 'Flying Fish' in Kent, now known as 'British Hovercraft Company' They're clearly not on par with 'Hovpod'
huu thanh tran Hello, the Hov Pod SPX TCC model is made from HDPE or High Density Polyethylene, a molded hull, so this process is very expensive to set up. We do sell partially assembled hulls for local assembly, but on condition that customers attend a 3 day training course in the UK. Our other hovercraft is manufactured from Carbon Fibre / Kevlar and HDPE. For more info contact us via www.hovercraft.org
thanks Hov Pod Hovercraft, it is a great help, i know how to caculate engine power, fan flow, air cushion flow, tube, bag and finger skirt design, but i dont know how to mold the hull using HDPE and its procedure. can i have more details about the procedure to mold the hull? thanks a lot.
Hovercraft are now used throughout the world as specialized transports in disaster relief, coastguard, military and survey applications as well as for sport or passenger service. More fun than one can imagine.
Hovercraft are not difficult to build we supply sub assemblies, but recommend you come for training - you probably don't save a great deal making your own hovercraft once you factor in time, tools and overheads.
We use polyurethane / anti rip weave nylon 375 gsm, having rejected neoprene coated nylon which degrades via exposure to UV (Sunlight) - we also rejected Hypalon which tears too easily. We now supply skirts for hovercraft so please contact us via hovpod dot com for more information
