My first boat in a range of boats I hope to bring out in the near future. If anyone has any good suggestions for interesting and good boats please post them below.

Power up with throttle and to steer use roll. To go back throttle down and use downwards pitch (which doesn't really work on land unfortunately).

If you start on the runway it doesn't seem to steer but once you get on the dirt or water, it acts like a real hovercraft. I would suggest only using about 60% throttle on land and slow down on the bumps.

    Not only is this a fantastic build, but it is a glowing testament to the physics of the game.

    Hey Authros I Just Made Myself an Account but I have played this game for about a year now, and can I have permission to use this hovercraft to make it my version of it. I will upload it here and I'll put you in the credits. Thx.

    I'm currently working on a Reaction Engines Limited A2 and I was wondering if mine doesn't turn out so hot if you could have a stab at it.

    @Crewmanmilo Glad you enjoy it, I just drove it to the top of a cliff and it did very well. Then something caught on the bottom just before I was about to launch it off the edge and it blew up. Will try again later.
