Have you ever thought – if you could make your own Hovercraft? If you haven’t then you should. You can now easily build and program your own hovercraft. A Hovercraft is a vehicle or craft that travels over land or water on a cushion of air provided by a downward blast. Today I tried making Hovercraft at Home using DRONA AVIATION’S components. Special thanks to Drona Aviation. You can buy it here…
