The Big Twin Banana Skirt..................................

Just giving a name to the latest change in the skirt, not that Banana's are an inspiration or anything.





Additional information is given in the photo's captions under the "Gallery" section labled: Personal Hovercraft Photos.

Note: As of this date the skirt is untested in this configuration. Roofing tape will cover all seems for air tight fittings. Also tapering of the skirt is in the plans should I have the time to do some refitting. This design is intended to work with elevators in the thrust airflow to insure a "bow up" attitude at speed to help prevent "plow-in".

Who knew it would be this much work, or this much fun? :blush:
