Because of work commitments, age and some health issues I have decided to part company with my hoverwing.
So it will be sold as an unfinished project
I started the build in 2013, as a hobby project and not as something that needed to be built as soon as possible.
My interest was in the build process and not to actually fly it , I've never been that interested in flying it.

The craft is complete apart from a few cosmetic items needed to finish it, I will list what I think it needs to be done below.

The craft is 26 feet in length nose to tail and 7 feet wide, the hull without the tail is 18 feet nose to tail.
I have designed the tail to be removable / detachable without too much effort.
It is fitted with a 9 blade hascon lift fan and a 64" thrust prop, driven by a Subaru EA81 engine 75 BHP , the engine has been fully rebuilt with new pistons, rings, crank bearings and the cylinder heads have been fully refurbished. I have designed the engine frame to take the Subaru Ej 20 engine if needed, so it should be a straight forward drop in without any mods.

The tail is a bespoke design by myself and co build partners.

Steering is operated by joystick with motorcycle throttle.
The lift fan can be operated by use of a lever and variator pulley to control the lift fan when in flight.
The craft comes with a full set of plans and construction manual including operating instructions.
I also have a few spare pulleys, pillow blocks and I think there might be a couple of spare shafts in the box - a spare lift fan is also included in the sale, all brand new never been used.
The craft is in my workshop and so far has never been tested.
It dose NOT come with a trailer, so whoever might be bold enough to make me an offer will need to arrange your own transport /  trailer or hiab flatbed truck.

Experienced  hovercrafters will know that I've spent a small fortune on this project and just how much work has gone into it.
It's time for me to let it go to a new owner, so I am open to all / any sensible offers.

List of what i think would finish the build
1 wiring, it does not have any form of wire harness , so nothing electrical is connected
2 the seat needs a cushion
3 screen wiper
4 door handles and latch mechanism
5 engine needs to be marinised
6 the wings have still to be built
This is not a complicated job
7 Nav lights need fitted, ( also included in the sale)
8 the thrust prop will need to be trimmed to size and balanced, this information is in the build instructions and is not complicated
9 I assume there will be a few other footery wee bits that will be needed plus a few tweaks here and there.
10 the craft hovers well but there might be some adjustments to be made to balance the craft.

This sale includes 2 brand new thrust propellers , these props are only available from windbornestudeo.biz USA and cost a fortune. Approximately £500 each plus tax plus import duty . One of the props is original and the other was carved by me on my clone carver, it is an exact copy.
I will try to answer any questions about the craft to the best of my ability
