How I built my UH10F modified 5' x 10' hull 15HP Pro Point engine 39" propeller 1/8" & 1/4" Baltic plywood bonded to foam www.gsc-systems.com/ www.princessauto.com/en/420cc...
The link for the prop is in the links below. It came from BC Canada GSC propellers. I had the hub machined locally at a shop. However, because it was not made totally by the plans, it needs a duct close around the prop or use a multiblade fan. Interestingly I just made a prototype fan of my design in wood that I was considering to add for a separate lift fan in the front. It is 6 blades and 22" diameter. I mounted it on my existing drive shaft and was very inpressed with the thrust. I will post a video tomorrow of how this was made - watch for it Hovercraft lift fan DIY. Really watch your craft weight as you build and build as the plans unless your willing to experiment.
Yes, I know. About 18 years ago, I built a 12T4, but I sold it some time ago. I was thinking about building this one now, but UH is no longer around. That’s who I got my other prop from back then. Thank you for the reply.
Thinking about building this hovercraft. Where did you get the prop and mounting hub from?
