Im one of the hovercraft builders (along with edomus) and maybe you can help us predict what exactly is going to happen when we throw this thing together... Basically, we are using a bag skirt. We have an 11HP engine that is direct-drive to a 6-blade fan with a diameter of 24" (a little bigger, really). This is a very home made craft, so it is all built on top of an 8'x4'x3/4" plywood sheet. Do you think it will hover the way it is supposed to? I think the hover height will be about 8 inches.
