Hovercraft Design Plans

Hovercrafts make great weekend projects.  With a good set of plans, anyone can master the construction process. In fact, it's a great science project you could do with your kids. If you built two of them, you could race each other across the surface of a lake or even across the backyards of you and your neighbors.

Hovercraft Design Plans HC-11 contains a simple, easy to follow blueprint for constructing your own Hovercraft from supplies you can easily find at Home Depot, Lowes or your own local big box supply store.

By following the step-by-step instructions -- fully illustrated with photos and diagrams -- you can build a one-person Hovercraft in a single weekend.  And these are by far the best plans I've come across, so if you want to build a great Hovercraft without any headaches, be sure to check out Hovercraft Design Plans and get your weekend project started.
