Any Amateur ice-fishing dreams about the convenient and easy means of transport to quickly get to the coveted perch holes? In one of the rooms “Modeller-designer” I read about motorware construction. Ibragimova decided to build such a machine. The engine and the wheel set from scooter “Tourist”. When testing mateboer speeds up to 70 km/h on ice and dense crust, but on loose snow skidded. In addition, it was quite heavy: about 140 kg.

The idea to build the cottage-trailer came up during a previous operation, is also mobile (see “modelist-Konstruktor No. 5, 2005).

The hovercraft is. Building a vehicle that could move on both land and water, was preceded by a familiarity with the history of the discovery and the creation of original amphibious machines, air cushion (WUA), the study of their fundamental devices, comparison of various designs and patterns. To this end, I visited a lot of Internet sites enthusiasts and creators of WUAs (including foreign), met with some of them in person.
