Here the craft is sitting on blocks 8" above the trailer bed. That is the height that it should hover so that is where it is sitting to build the skirt.

The skirting is started but I have a long way to go yet. What you see of the skirt is excess material hanging down.

The lift fan is a Multi-Wing 6-blade-9-hub measuring 24" in diameter. The blades are replacable if they get damaged.

The trailer bed is made from 15/32" exterior grade plywood on 2X3" wood framing. It measures 14' long by 7' wide.

The windsheild frame is made out of aluminum.
The windsheild is a .177" lexan type material, very flexible.

I finally found exhaust components at A1 Small Engines in Holland, MI and had a friend from work weld them up to make a complete exhaust system.

The craft is slowly taking shape. Long time coming.

Here the thrust engine is sitting in place along with the pillow blocks, 1-1/4" stainless steel shaft, pulleys and fan.

You can also see the dual exhaust in place. The muffles are John Deere type. I got the parts from the same place as the lift engine exhaust and the same person welded them up as before.

The thrust fan is now in place. It is also a Multi-Wing fan with 9 blades measuring 780mm in diameter. Both fans I got from Phil Stockman of Hoverware Hardware.

This is the passenger side, here you can see the dual exhaust and oil filter. The battery is also on this side.
I didn't put any belts on it yet. I may have to fabricate an idler pulley system.
