How
Long Will it Take to Build?
Makes a great weekend project.
It will only take you
approximately one to two days to complete if you have RC modeling experience.
If you're a beginner in RC modeling then allow a few days to get the project
completed and have your ElectroCruiser hovering.

The
ElectroCruiser boasts performance from bow to stern. It features
high efficiency twin motors for optimum lift and thrust. The
design was a year in the making and has benefited from the
Hovercraftmodels.com attention to detail. This is a model
hovercraft that comes as close as it gets to the performance of
the full size craft. Capable of forward and reverse thrust with throttle
control combined with independent lift throttle on a 4 channel
radio makes this the ultimate in remote control and a very agile
hovercraft.
As
with all our kits it features a full size set of plans and a
highly detailed CDROM based construction pack. The CDROM holds a
browser based step by step construction manual with video clips,
high resolution photos and full electrical wiring diagrams. The CD
walks you step by step confidently through the process of building
and operating this powerful model
hovercraft model. The manual not only provides a comprehensive
parts list, instruction set and background information but also
gives details of hovercraft operation and setup with 2 and 4
channel radios. The
kit features high quality parts from world renowned companies -
Graupner, Du-Bro and Windsor Propeller Company. The
ElectroCruiser can be operated with a 2 channel radio controlling
the throttle for both lift and thrust motors from one speed
controller and a single servo for rudder control. It can also be
configured for 4 channel operation using two speed controllers and
one servo for rudder control, the choice is yours, the kit
supports both configurations. All
in all this is a very comprehensive package that gives all
the parts to build a high performance RC model hovercraft and get
you beating up your local RC boat lake or RC car track!

Easy-Build
Steps
The
ElectroCruiser construction is set out in a
simple step by step manual - just follow each step.
Simple
Power Up
The
ElectroCruiser was designed so that it does not require special batteries - it uses the
standard 7.2 or 8.4 volt 1500mA/hr or greater, radio control car
rechargeable batteries. These are available in most hobby stores.
Everything
you need.... even the solder is in the box!
The
motor assembly for the ElectroCruiser is simple and straight
forward. Electrical wiring diagrams are included on the
CDROM. It comes with its propellers and propeller
gearbox ready to use - just solder on 4 wires, fit the propellers
and bolt the assemblies into the
Hovercraft. The cable and solder are in the box with full
instructions. Also includes connecters to match
the standard RC speed controller output used on radio control
cars. Just solder the wires , crimp the connectors, plug it in and
you're ready to hover. (note: this refers to kit option 1 -
see to your left)
