Very interesting. I've only worked with brushed motors throughout my life until entering the wonderful world of nitro, but I doubt brushless motors wear out that fast either. Can it hover even higher above the ground? I'm sure it'd take off on you if you had that motor go faster, though, hehe.
Sorry if any of the questions I asked so far were covered in your video. I've lost my buds and I can't listen to anything.
Since my knowledge of hovercraft is so limited... How difficult is it to get/make a skirt for underneath it and maybe to cut the noodles back some? So it looks and more importantly, would drive like a 1:1 hover...
That sounds like a fine idea. I decided against it because the pool noodle is so durable it'll probably never wear out and on the water, when it was just a styrofoam cooler spacer, it ran like a champion out there. I was very impressed. The shower curtain just slowed me down.. especially due to the scoop on the bottom in the back where I was bleeding out air.I gave a lot of thought to a hovercraft in my early days of Tamiya electric RCs, and my thought was to cut the rubber skirt from a car tire inner tube since it would take a lot of abuse, would be flexible enough to lay down when the motors were off, and would not flap out when under pressure. The next thoughts would be a bike tire tube which would be inflated before hand with some sort of plastic skid on the bottom.
As far as water use, I think balancing the craft would be pretty critical.
