It’s the same one. Just keeping the hover club up to date.

Ah well done sir.
Not sure from here but is it perhaps "yellow"? 


Behind your craft theres a craft with a huge thrust duct. It must be a big craft.
And your engine/s Mr F?
Will it be ready for Loch Fyne?

I bought that.

Make some room then 


At £1800, it seems a decent price for what is essentially a new hull.  I would also consider buying it, but I have my new project underway which will keep me buy and skint for some time to come

I`[size=78%]d buy it if i hade the room[/size]

This hover is now forsale at a much reduced price of £1800.


I messaged Chris to ask him to advertise it on here, but in the meantime here is a link to FB market place, so not sure if it will work

Chris Knight doesn't appear to be a HCCUK member.
The engineering around the elevator does not seem to be "adequate" for a WIG  ie a "plane" !?
Once you start throwing "working" engines away (to which I agree!!!!)
you can end up with a load of stuff, to NOT use- so why would you buy stuff to throw away / sell on
then buy other stuff to replace it, then do the joining up engineering etc-
There remains so little that you perhaps were better off buying a working craft and making it work better??
He looks like a really nice chap and wish him well.

That is pretty much my view also.  It would be a shame if the hull and bits just sit there deteriorating and not get used, maybe try and sell the hull & engine separately and possibly reduce the price of the package, to make it an appealing deal for someone

Nice hull for someone, sell the Rotax and fit a lift fan, job done.

I haven't seen the hover, but Chris the guy trying to sell it contacted me a couple weeks ago asking if I knew anything about the hover, as he had just been left it in his uncle's will.  What make/model it was etc.   He had plans to complete the build.  He sent me a few pictures, but none of them had that elevator on the back.  I told him to join this club but also ditch that 2 stroke if he intended to finish the craft, as 2 strokes are too noisy and fuel hungry for a cruising craft.  I also passed on K&M products details.  Not sure if he took any of my advice and joined this club


Anyway that's all I know about this project
