Build Instructions Part 1 (BASE)

take the base and flip it upside down 

Cut out a piece of a trash bag and Tape it to the sides leaving a little bit of give in the bag so it can inflate.

Take your servo and place it in the servo slot with the wire facing the front of the base

take a servo screw and screw the servo into the base, to lock it down

Build Instructions Part 2 (Fin)

Take the fin and place a servo horn into the servo slot

Use a servo screw and fasten the screw to the fin

snap the servo horn onto the servo and your done

Build Instructions Part 3 (The Motor mount)

take your motor and use the screws provided with the motor screw it into place

use double sided tape or super glue to stick the motor mount onto the base

Secure your prop onto the motor

Build Instructions Part 4 (Wiring)

Feel free to wire however you like but do avoid contact with the motor prop 

leaving wires in the path of the motors prop

if you need help with wiring rc electronic I recommend this video

 

HAVE FUN!!

Feel free to change any files to fit your electronics. these are just how they fit mine

I designed this to satisfy the group of hobbyists who don't want to buy more parts or files online.

After doing my research I could not find any free, well-working single-motor hovercrafts out there. so I took things into my own hands. this is one of my first CAD projects so don't expect any professional-grade designs : )
