How
Long Will it Take to Build?
Makes a great weekend project.
It will take you
approximately one to two days to complete if you have RC modeling experience.
If you're a beginner in RC modeling then allow a few days to get the project
completed and have your Hover Demon hovering.

As
with all our kits it features a full size set of plans and a
highly detailed CDROM based construction pack. The CDROM holds a
browser based step by step construction manual with video clips,
high resolution photos and full electrical wiring diagrams. The CD
walks you step by step confidently through the process of building
and operating this powerful model
hovercraft. The manual not only provides a comprehensive
parts list, instruction set and background information but also
gives details of hovercraft operation and setup with 2 and 4
channel radios. 
Hover
Demon Turbo RC models can be operated with a 2 channel radio controlling
the throttle for both lift and thrust motors from one speed
controller and a single servo for rudder control. It can also be
configured for 4 channel operation using two speed controllers and
one servo for rudder control, the choice is yours, the kit
supports both configurations. Note:
The speed controller(s), radio,
batteries, and servo are not included in the kit.
You can save and buy all you need as a 'Hover Demon Combination
Kit'. This consists of the Hover
Demon kit, 2 channel radio, speed controller and battery for less
that the price of the separate items. You may also buy them separately from our Parts
Store. You could also use an existing 2 or 4 channel radio setup.

Easy-Build
Steps
The
Hover Demon construction is set out in a
simple step by step guide - just follow each step.
Simple
Power Up
The
Hover Demon was designed so that it does not require special batteries - it uses the
standard 7.2 or 8.4 voltvolt 1500mA/hr or greater, radio control car
rechargeable batteries. These are available in most hobby stores.
Everything
you need.... even the solder is in the box!
The
motor assembly for the Hover Demon is simple and straight
forward. Electrical wiring diagrams are included on the
CDROM. Just solder on 4 wires, fit the propellers
and bolt the assemblies into the
Hovercraft. The cable and solder are in the box with full
instructions. Also includes connecters to match
the standard RC speed controller output used on radio control
cars and boats. Just crimp the connectors, plug it in and
you're ready to hover.
