These are the pages that describe building the craft.

Each page usually describes a single task or job.

The description is simple and straightforward. Most of the page is filled with tips on how to do the job well. These tips are collected from accumulated experience and I encourage you to add yours.

Builder’s tips are acknowledged.

The shapes of the panels that create the hull are copyright not just the cutting templates. They are a derivative work. You are licensed to create just one set of hull panels.

You may print the files as much as you need to create your set of hull panels. You may cut the paper the paper templates to re-arrange the layout of the panels if you wish.

Creating hard board templates in any form from the cutting template patterns is an infringement of the copyright license.

I know all hover enthusiasts will respect the copyright issues. There are hundreds of hours of work in these designs.

If you want to produce multiple craft or adapt the design in any way, please talk to me. I’m very open to any discussion.
