I have ordered the Canair 300 plans from http://www.acvdesigns.com/canair300.htm



I'd like to know more about which engines are most suited to the Canair hovercraft for extended range. Speed is not as essential as distance travelled.



Do you know of anyone putting air-cooled diesel engines in hovercrafts? I have a couple of 20hp Ruggerini/Deutz air-cooled diesels.



Or possibly motorcycle engines?



Or even the Geo Metro 3 cylinder, one litre gasoline engine?



BTW, how do you like your Canair hovercraft? Does the reverse thrust work well? Is it useful for slowing the hovercraft down? Any information would be helpful. I am new to hovercrafts. I'd love to see more photos of the Canairs that you have. thanks...

I received my Canair 300 plans today from

http://www.acvdesigns.com/canair300.htm



The fun officially begins. I was really surprised at the level of

detail. Full sized detailed drawings for fabricating the parts, the

parts listing, the materials listing, the construction manual, the

assembly drawings and even samples of the skirt material. They even

talk about how to operate the hovercraft properly, engine

recommendations, etc, etc. Lots of information...
