How
Long Will it Take to Build?
Makes a great weekend project.
It will take you
approximately 8-10 hours of construction time to complete it if you have RC modeling experience.
If you're a beginner in RC modeling then allow a weekend to get the project
completed and have your SR.N5 hovering. Remember you can always email rcmodel@hovercraftmodels.com
for hotline help!

Scale RC Hovercraft kit

BHC SR.N5 Warden Class Hovercraft
Available in our
Model
Hovercraft Kits Store

Your
will love the detail of this model! Based on the post trials
version of this classic craft the SR.N5 RC Hovercraft features
very detailed deck and rudder panel lines just as on the real thing.
Extra effort has been put into this model to give it that familiar
SR.N5 look by adding detailed engine intake and elevator moldings.
It even features the rear storage bins, puff ports, bifurcated
exhaust and cabin
lines. Complemented with an extensive decal sheet this kit will
allow you reproduce the HoverTravel fast ferry, Bell USA or
Canadian Coast Guard versions of this craft.

The
SR.N5 model is supplied with powerful motors as used in our giant Electro Cruiser.
This gives the SR.N5 superb thrust and lift power as well as
outstanding handling - it will hover backwards as fast as it goes
forwards! As
with all our kits it features a
highly detailed construction manual. The manual has step by step
instructions, high resolution photos and full electrical wiring diagrams. The
manual walks you step by step confidently through the process of building
and operating the SRN5 RC
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. "Superbly
detailed construction manual"
This SR.N5 RC
Hovercraft offers true scale performance. It features high
efficiency twin motors for optimum lift and thrust. The design has
benefited from the Hovercraftmodels.com attention to detail in
reproducing a model that will get attention at your local lake.
This is a fast model hovercraft that comes as close as it gets to
full size craft. Capable of forward and reverse thrust with
throttle control makes this a very agile hovercraft.
The
model is all molded in Lexan™ and ABS to make a robust and
durable body. The
SR.N5 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. Full
configuration details
are in the manual, the kit
supports both configurations.
Note:
The speed controller(s), radio,
batteries, and servo are not included in the SR.N5 kit.
You can save and buy all you need as a 'SR.N5 Combination
Kit'. This consists of the SR.N5 kit, 2 channel radio, servo,
receiver, 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
SR.N5
construction is set out in a detailed yet simple to follow step by step guide - just follow each step.
Simple
Power Up
The
SR.N5 model was designed so that it does not require special batteries - it uses the
standard 7.2 or 8.4 volt 1700mA/hr or greater, radio control car
rechargeable batteries. These are available in most hobby stores.

"Installing
the rudders and motors is a breeze!"
Everything
you need.... even the solder is in the box!
The
motor assembly for the SR.N5 is simple and straight
forward. Electrical wiring diagrams are included in the comprehensive
20 page manual. Just solder on 4 wires, fit the propellers
and bolt the assemblies into the SR.N5 body shell The wire and solder are
even in the kit! 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.
