I am now off on a very big project of re-equiping
a large sailing trimaran in Thailand. Therefore
I can no devote a lot of my time to testing my Hovercraft
or a description of its assembly.
But all the same here is some information.
1. I do not recommend my followers bring the Hovercraft
to a rapid stop because this puts a big strain on
the sidexside seats. The Neoteric seat design is
for easy (gentle) stops, but in Russia we are hard
on equipment. Perhaps the inline seat would be better
for use in Russia.
2. Adjustment of the computer managing the mechanism
of the reverser is often required until it settles
down. Before using you will adjust, and a bit later
it will need re-adjustment. Computer adjustment
is made by very small screwdriver, and to get it
into the groove on the computer is very difficult.
It would be good, instead of these small screws
there could be small handles which could be twisted
by finger.
3. We decided to fit protective tapes for protection
of the under hull. It will protect the bottom from
the damage of landing on pebbles or sharp stones.
4. The fishing rod holders have a tough time with
vibration and might need a better attachment idea.
5. I have also established a switch to turn off
the DC battery on the back seat.
6. Assembly of the Hovercraft has not caused any
problem. I have strenghtened the fastening of the
shroud.
7. I have established the aerial of radio station
in other place than Neoteric suggested. Now is can
be inclined foward so that cover of Hovercraft will
work.
8. I am very pleased with my Hovercraft, I have
altered the foward seat and made it rigid. I have
strengthened the back seat.
The design of the Hovercraft is very much liked.
I have other remarks to make in the future but for
the present, my Hovercraft is simply amazing! |
