I ordered some replacement Hubsan Quadcopter motors as they were very cheap on eBay and thought I might give them a try on my Quad Fan Hovercraft. Due to a slip of the mind I put one of my 2S LiPos onboard so gave them rather more power than I should have.

If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here.

Swimming float

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
