Maybe worth asking the British Hovercraft company who make their fan guards. They maybe able to supply their manufacturer's details or get them made for you.

Mike, 'The glue people ' do 'Trade grip pvc ' it's the stuff I've used for years. Renia do a similar glue. You'd be better to weld the seams if you can, it's easier than you would think.

I'm thinking of buying some skirt material from a company called Rivertex. Steve Holland has done some comparison tests on it against pvc skirt material, it's a lot more robust.

Hi All,
I'm looking to get two fan guards made for the new HoverAid River Rover we are building - I have detailed drawings for what we need (essentially 1200mm dia 50mm spaced grid in 3mm/10SWG with a 265 dome projection). Anyone got any leads for who could make this for us? I've attached a drawing - would be happy to have this in dip coated steel rather than stainless.

I'm sure its mentioned on here somewhere, but would someone be good enough to tell me the name of the correct adhesive for my Sevtec skirt material And best place to buy ? Final last weekend my son in law and I managed to move the two block and tackle to a position suitable to lift the hovercraft off the trailer. I can see a couple of small holes by the lift fan and seams that are beginning to part on the edges Thanks in advance Mike B

My understanding is the undulations (for noise attenuations) are on trailing edges (owls wings) etc but on leading edges as per whales for allowing high angles of attack which are then less likely to stall. The FACT these are found in nature developed over millions of years is most humbling IMHO. Flowers giving off UV reliant colours for various birds and insects to exclusively see is another wonder.
