Nowadays, not only small children are engaged in modeling. This lesson has become interesting even for adults. There are even special circles where they teach the construction of various kinds of models. Of course, you can buy a ready-made model in the store and enjoy its management, but it is much more interesting to assemble it yourself. For example, how to assemble a hovercraft?
Necessary
Air cushion, base material, control mechanism, glue, engine, turbine
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on the dimensions of the future toy boat. Throw in a small drawing. Think it over in detail so that in the future there are as few mistakes and shortcomings as possible. You need to immediately identify several main basic parts that you will need: the base of the boat, on which all the parts will be mounted, one or two motors, an air cushion, an impeller that will inflate it, a steering mechanism, a battery compartment, radio control.
Step 2
The base for the boat must be made of lightweight material. Note that the lighter the materials you use, the faster your boat will be. You can use dense foam, but you will need to handle it very carefully, as it crumbles easily. Think about the material that the air cushion will be made from. The material must withstand a lot of friction, since the hovercraft will move not only on water, but also on land. You can choose a pillow from the model parts store. Pick up the turbine there. It must be strong enough to provide the pillow with a constant flow of air.
Step 3
Particular attention should be paid to the selection of motors. You can put two or one. The most economical and simplest option is electric motors. However, if you install an ICE, your boat will be more powerful. It is also worth noting that batteries for electric motors are quite heavy, which negatively affects the maximum speed of the boat. The blades need to be protected from various small objects, for this, make a protection. As an example, use the protection that is placed on floor-standing household fans.
Step 4
The remote control unit and remote control are best bought assembled in a store. Also, think carefully about the boat steering mechanism. Use the steering wheel to steer the hovercraft. Its size must be selected empirically. When assembling the model, be prepared as you will need to refine the model through trial and error. After complete assembly and customization, decorate the model, making it unique and unique.
