I used to have the scat, a lot of noise, dirt, but a whole lot more fun. 6 blades will make the throttle more responsive. Reduce the angle of the 6 blades since you only need lift, you need to keep the engine speed in the power range. You can reduce the duct size of the skirt to balance the lift. Keep it rear heavy to "land" or you will "nose in". You really should be testing on water, safer if you have a chase jetski . I would not recommend grass field unless you plan to start a fire...... Snow covered field would be easier on the Scat. Wear a light helmet and neck collar on your speed runs..🎉

My good friend and I built a hovercraft when we were teenagers based on an issue of Popular Mechanics. We put it on an illegal trailer that we made from a Honda civic frame (acquired from a junkyard) which actually worked except that we were pulled over by the California Highway Patrol for using the licence plate from the front of my friend's Toyota Celica which we put on the back of the trailer (brilliant kids, ha!). Somehow, we talked ourselves out of a major ticket (possible jail time??) from the CHP and brought our monstrosity to a dry lake bed for testing. We got it up to 48 mph and it would spin like the "Tea Cup" ride at Disneyland when we tried to turn throwing up clouds of dust. We had the time of our lives.

The best design for a hovercraft had thrusters placed two in the front for braking, one each for the four corners for greater control of steering, one in the rear for forward thrust, one below for vertical lift. It gave the greatest control over the vehicle. Hovercraft can be made buoyant so that when fuel does run out, you need to take a break for whatever reason, or if there are mechanical problems the craft acts like a boat. No worries of sinking.

Well done, you have proven to the world that you know absolutely nothing about Hovercraft, that was simply painful to watch. You are all extremely lucky nobody got seriously hurt.

This just might be the coolest vehicle you built yet…
