UPDATE: Due to rapidly increasing material and engine costs, we are not currently producing any turn key hovercraft or hovercraft kits. We will reevaluate if market conditions change.

The Phoenix is a light sport hovercraft designed to be very simple and affordable to build. Quality design and engineering by the LSH team minimizes the parts count and expense without sacrificing the high performance and aggressive styling desired by beginning and veteran hovercraft pilots alike.

The Phoenix is filled with great design features which increase performance and drastically reduce build time:

Choose from either handlebars (shown here) or a joystick. Both control systems are durable and very quick to master Instruments are kept to a minimum to keep the craft simple and cost low, but the analog GPS speedometer is one of our favorite optional upgrades..
The rudders are symmetrical airfoils made from carbon fiber, making them extremely lightweight and strong. Their large combined surface area gives you firm control authority over the Phoenix. All installation hardware is aluminum or stainless steel, giving you years of trouble-free operation in harsh environments.
The battery, fire extinguisher, and wiring are all neatly stowed inside the bench, making the topside of the Phoenix very tidy. This makes them easily accessible but protects them from the elements.
The Phoenix has a compartment in the nose that provides easy access to the control cables, as well as space for safety gear, drinks, camera, etc.
The fuel tank is located on the top deck, so it is easy to inspect the tank and related equipment. There are no buried/inaccessible fuel lines to worry about. And there is ample room on either side of the fuel tank to carry an auxiliary fuel tank for added range.
