Model hovercrafts (PoD)

Basics, construction, driving practice

They are absolute exotics – In the original as well as in the model: hovercrafts!

These floating, fast, and manoeuvrable vehicles are fascinating and impress with their background noise. Many modellers have already tried their hand at building hovercrafts as models - with success because the technology is anything but trivial. Stefan Tulodziecki is a model builder who has meticulously discovered this modelling discipline for himself. In this book, he shares his experiences and measurements, gives tips for building and operating, and shows how to give new life to some hovercraft classics. Rounded off by a multitude of practical experiences, anyone can thus draw the necessary information from it for their own hovercraft developments - and simply get hovering!
