I had thought of "charging" it. I don't think there is enough exhaust pressure/volume to turbocharge it, but I definitely think supercharging would work. I could just stick an air hose from a compressor in there but I'm afraid I would blow the engine. I wouldn't want an electric blower because that is just cheesy, it has to be crank driven. I know I have seen it done on a little RC nitro engine before, but I can't find the pic anymore.

Does anyone know of any links or pictures or articles on small (RC, weedeater, lawnmower) supercharged engines? Thanks.

Hovercraft is a good idea, but wouldn't I need two engines, one for lift and one for direction? Or would I just duct some of the air from the thrust fan into the air bag/skirt?

Another idea I just came up with is an air compressor. I know where to get a tank, but I don't know where to get an air "pump"
