Griffon 2000TD Patrol Hovercraft
1000 Followers Special
[Light-weight hovercraft used for military and rescue organisations]
Promised challenge entry, I hope patrol/counter-insurgency role qualifies
Controls:
VTOP UP - Forward
VTOL DOWN - Reverse (no steering)
YAW - Steering
ROLL / PITCH - Turret Rotation
7 - Warning Beacon ON
8 - Lights ON/OFF
Features:
If wheels scratching noise annoys you, avoid tarmac- A lot of fun for just 364 parts
- Tundra camouflage theme
- Simple, but innovative cushion mechanics and hovercraft maneuverability
- No steering in reverse (Sorry, but that's realistic)
- 12.7 machine gun UPGRADE (instead of stock 7.62)
- Bad climber. Can attach high beach edges and kerbs, still cannot climb big slopes (also realistic). Still, great off-road handling
- Max speed of 50 mph (extra 10 mph for fun)
Concept inspired by Leeohopard tracks (Anti-Air Challenge Winner vehicle)

@BogdanX Have you seen the SES 100B It's a High-Speed Surface Effect Ship. You're Ground Effects would be perfect for it.
Wow Perfection!!!
@BogdanX I just would like to know exactly the teams that you use.
I really like the design of posts from you
@BogdanX 2
@BogdanX By the way, what commands do you use to design everything so beautifully?
Alright then thanks for the note. @BogdanX
Dat 360 no-scope tho.
if it wouldn't be to leggy
ill try that @BogdanX
I know they dont I wanted to get it to fly some how though @BogdanX
i couldn't get it to fly is what I mean @BogdanX
it doesnt work I couldn't get it off the ground @BogdanX
@BogdanX will you rebuild them?
Hey bogdan, I’m not sure if you have already been asked this but what happened to your older posts?
Did you get the technique from this? https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/d342d9/JPIAFs-Hovercraft-HC-1RBT-Gregg
@BogdanX yes i did and I really love it cell done my friend :)
@BogdanX I see what you mean.
Very interesting.
Well I’ve already lost
@BogdanX that makes sense.
But what if we in include both methods because i do like how the air cushion moves and with other method simulated hovering over water with the rotator could be pretty interesting to see that in a build.
But that's probably test for another time..
@BogdanX Yeah I tried this method very unreliable
@BogdanX What about a helicopter rotor with high ground effect ?
ED suggest me this when I was trying to make one.
@BogdanX Well, its very polish and fun as always with your stuff. I didn't any found flaw. Ngl its with ED's hovercraft the "real" first one. I was also wondering if you used any engine for vertical trust to simulate the cushion of air or only the wheel ?
I really like it :)
