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 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. | ![]() |
