Hovercraft size is about 320(L) x 220(W) x 190(H) mm
Built using spare 5" quadcopter gear & "garbage from the top shelf" :)

Print all parts with support enabled.

Things I used besides filament:

* 2 x 2205 brushless RaceStar motors, CW and CCW
* 2 x 5042 3blade propelers (or any other 5" propellers, lower pitch for hover turbine is advised)
* 2 x 20A RaceStar BlHeli_S ESC
* Eachine TX02 combo (FPV cam + VTX 5.8/25mw)
* 2 x 9G servos
* FrSky S6R receiver (buit-in stabilization feature is a great help here)
* 3S battery
* Battery low-voltage buzzer
* 70mm (D=5mm) rod or tube for running turbine shaft
* 1100x130mm of any waterproof durable fabric
* Pair of 6x4 magnets for front cover fixation
* Pair of 5x10x4mm bearings (take apart 2 of your spinners ;)
* M3x15 and M3x10 button-head screws, M3x10 countersunk screws and lot of M3 nuts :)

Use Skirt.PDF for the skirt template. Draw it on fabric, cut with scissors & glue to plastic frame. I did it in this order:
