This has to be worth a punt for FPV...  :)

I know it's not a hovercraft, but I like the look of this one too http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__27055__HobbyKing_Swamp_Dawg_Air_Boat_ARR_UK_Warehouse_.html (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__27055__HobbyKing_Swamp_Dawg_Air_Boat_ARR_UK_Warehouse_.html)

It's not exactly getting rave reviews, from poorly made which is nothing really ( what do you expect for 12 quid ? ) to doesn't work or falls apart. For 12 quid though surely worth a dabble :)

I made one out of a piece of polystyrene, a few 3d-printed bits, some old mini quad motors and a charity bag.  Torque was a bit crazy - though I must go back and revisit it as it was fun to experiment.

he's talking about the one linked in the first post... the one I linked to actually gets really good reviews... so much in fact that I've just bought one :)
