Sorry if this is in the wrong forum

Have any of you guys ever made a rc hover craft? Ive made a 5' one that my little cousin could ride on powered by a leaf blower and since then ive wanted to make an rc.

My plans are to use my little .074 plane engine on roughly a 1.5' bolsa base, use a showercurtan for the shroud, and use the one engine to power the thrust as well as the hovering. Im hoping that i can direct half of the airflow down into the shroud using a scoop and the other half for thrust. Do you guys think this would be feasable? Thanks for the input. :)

it may work, twin engines for the drive and one for the lift, powered of a nicad pack would be better, probably give more control
