assembly – Larry's Hovercraft and trike build

I made some hand rails out of aluminium for the passengers to hang onto when i'm doing 360's in the middle of the lake hehe. Notice how shiny aluminium comes up when you sand it with 400 wet and dry sandpaper then 1200 wet and dry then several coats of metal polish (its a example how bored i am at the moment, i really need to start on my trailer sooner rather than later haha)

View Trike BuildView Hover BuildI'm EmptyRe Assembly 5I have covered the duralock 2 with some rub rail which should help me bounce of things when i lose control. I'm currently trying some 3M molding tape to secure the rub rail in place and its currently been on there for 2 or so weeks and hasn't […]

The mesh is 4mm wire and the outside frame of it is 6mm solid round bar and due to the way my transmission is all set up, my mesh is made in two halves . Both halves once mounted are also bolted together to form a 8mm thick wire right through the center near the fan frame. Now that i have it all mounted its off to be powder coated, then i can finally reassemble the drive train and see if it hovers.

View Trike BuildView Hover BuildI'm EmptyRe Assembly 3I don't know why but for some reason even though i've built the whole craft from the ground up, securing the engine cover i have been putting off for months. It was one of those jobs i just really wasn't looking forward to and it's kinda weird cause […]

Now that its back from being painted i can start putting it all back together again, so once again I'm a happy man hehe. Still waiting on the gears to be painted so for now this is about as far as i can go in the engine bay area, other than tidy the wiring and stuff up.

View Trike BuildView Hover BuildI'm EmptyRe Assembly 2I started to make a wire mesh Fan guard for the front of my duct. and before anyone comments i know that technically having the mesh in a convex shape adds to the strength in the event that someone were to fall onto it but in my case, […]

I thought that maybe if i sat in it and pretended it was going that it might automatically finish building itself and be ready to hover, but alas it didn't and it's still sitting there unfinished.
