I need help with getting my hovercraft to float. I have a skirt on it, but it doesn't hover...any ideas?

Jay,

It sounds like your hovercraft may not be floating due to your air pressure being too low inside the skirt. Check out this website to see if it helps solve the problem, and if not, write in again with a few more specifics.

Hi,

What material are you using for the skirt? How are you constructing it?
