DIY Remote-Control Hovercrafts

This DIY Hovercraft RC Vehicle Glides Over Snow and Possible Water

Although many makers have set their sights on the sky for remote-control vehicles, this DIY Hovercraft RC Vehicle proves just how much fun it can be to stay (partially) grounded. Created by the team at Flite Test, the hovercraft is created through a relatively simple design process that can be done in about one day.

The vehicle glides over snow, which is more than can be said for many RC cars that simply can't handle rugged terrain. The DIY Hovercraft RC Vehicle is crafted using a series of foam pieces that have been stacked together and utilized for their lightweight construction. A series of fans enable the vehicle to maintain a lofted aesthetic and to glide over surfaces with relative ease.
