The UH-10F2 Super Entry Level hovercraft makes an excellent father/son, high school or University learning project. The 10F2 is perfect for beginners with very little building experience. Builders will learn composites, mechanics, aerodynamics, fiberglass, wood working, and teamwork.
It’s made from Styrofoam and plywood making construction very quick and simple. No welding required. A single 10-15 hp vertical shaft engine (Tecumseh, Briggs, Kohler, Honda or Robin) is directly mounted to a 24 inch 4-blade lift fan, and a belt drives a 36 inch 2-blade thrust propeller. This set up produces more efficient lift and additional thrust. This system produces far less noise than the 10F and carries a larger payload.
The Hoverclub of America has designed a racing program specifically for the 10F & 10F2 Entry Level Hovercraft. The program is designed to allow close competition between High Schools, and Universities at a very affordable price. This single engine, twin fan design makes for simple and fast building. See Hoverclub of America for more information.
