This is a simple yet sophisticated craft. With a little 45hp engine this craft can carry up to 600 lbs. and attain speeds in excess of 40mph. With its multi-terrain, all season capability, it can leave other vehicles behind. You don't have to worry about weak or broken ice in a Canair 300 Series. Using one fan to provide both lift and thrust, and aerodynamic rudders for steering, braking and reveres flight, give it outstanding control. Moving the seat, with all controls attached, back and forth, provides accurate pitch trim control. A central joystick allows single pilot or left and right pilot control. This same joystick provides variable lift air control for improved performance. This is an advanced craft that any skilled hobbyist can build and fly, impressing friends and foe. With its simple hull built from door skin plywood and pine framing, glued and nailed together, it has style. A durable fiberglass base for impact protection and its fiberglass fan duct, make it a strong, robust craft. You can Fly low and Fast in a Canair 300 Series.

This is a direct descendant of Ultralightt Hovercraft Canair 300 series.

• FOLDING SIDE STRUCTURE: This permits the Canair’s normal operational width of 7 ft. 2in. to be simply and quickly reduced to 4 ft. for ease of towing and storage.
• SIDE STRUCTURE STORAGE: By not using the side structures as the air duct supplying the cushion, allows them to be used as storage compartments.
• SUPERIOR CONTROL: Not only is the Canair’s aerodynamic controls superior to other small hovercraft, but this craft can stop while on full cushion and reverse under full control by the simple use of its rudders.
• EFECTIVE PITCH TRIM CONTROL: Simple movement of the seat allows the pitch trim attitude of the Canair to be adjusted at any time while maintaining full control.
• LOOP AND SEGMENT SKIRT: This provides a smooth ride, is less susceptible to skirt damage, keeps the skirt maintenance costs to a minimum and does not damage the terrain over which the craft operates.
• HYDRODYNAMICALLY DESIGNED HULL: Provides for a very seaworthy craft that can make emergency stops at speed irrespective of craft angle of yaw, while maintaining excellent stability.
