Hey, I'm surprised it flies at all. The LEGO motor has only 0.007 HP on 9V.

Agreed!
"Real" hovercrafts has a tube around the edge to absorb ruff seas and
obstacles. I've been thinking about using a bicycle tube cut open in top for
airinlet and holes along the inside of the tube to create the cushion. A
plastic skirt can be added under the whole thing if it's needed.
I have a duct fan for a freeflying "jet" airplane model somewhere that might
have enough omph to make it fly.
All I need is time...
The US marines have hovercrafts in the 100 tons range and the ones that cross
the channel between England and France weighs some 500 tons. In that
perspective LEGO should fly given the HP's to do so :)
