Welcome to the supplier page

Good supplier can make or break your Hovercraft project. In this and the following pages we want to provide some links to supplier which served us well and supplied quality products for reasonable prices.
They might not be the cheapest but provide the service and the quality we need to build our 4wings craft. Personally I recommend to use a good quality product in the first place to reduce down / repair time on your craft This will help to hold the beauty of your craft instead of changing your dashboard to swiss cheese over the years since you have to replace your instruments all 2 years.
We want to point out that you will need a lot of hard to find items in marine or aviation quality for your Hovercraft .
If you want to save every penny on your project - this will be the wrong page.

Suppliers and Materials

This page is a mixture of what is possible and available .... what is affordable ...
but last not least links to some suppliers we use !

Resin and Fiberglass cloth

United Resin	System 3 - the workhorse resin	A lot of Products
West System	CIBA - not for startup	Some more resins

My personal opinion : "System three" has a perfect reasonable workhorse for most areas - for high stress applications "United Resin" has the big variety of resins ! But if you feel confident mix it from scratch with "Cibas" resins - you need a helpful distributor to get to the perfect mix!
Please read the info on composite - epoxy for more help!

On Fiberglass cloth - take your local distributor for high end fibers!

Honeycomb materials

Core materials

Great stuff

Composite Materials

My personal opinion :" Nida - core " is one of the best products - no rot , positive flotation and in case of puncture it is self-contained .... just the price leaves a hard decision compared to other core materials which you can find at your local supplier for half the price !

The horsepower

Rotapower	Kohler	Briggs
Honda	Engine source	Engine source

You have the choice !

Props and Fans

Used stuff

Multiwing

Good resource

The small Parts

High quality stuff

Fisco - my favorite place

Vetus Marine

Outfit!

Nothing is nicer than having your craft finally on the way and getting all the goodies
which make the ride more pleasant... since it is a never ending story and the supplier list is nearly endless - hover over to one of the sits which are specialized in links to marine stuff!

why marine stuff ... everything else will just not work over the long run!
If it is your radio, VHF, or GPS - your environment is harsh!

Boatowners.com

Johns Place - you will love it!

To all Suppliers :

Thank you for your patience
