Hovercraft racing competing in the Junior Nationals championship

New build of a Rattler single engine, single fan specification craft, fitted with a Rotax 447 engine which, because its running in the Junior championship has to have its thrust limited. Pilot Charlie Moore

Collaborations across the paddocks have led to others carrying the TinSan Brand

These are not our vehicles: but include a 1999 2.5L Porsche Boxster in the race winning hands of Simon Parkin; a Triumph GT6, with a Ford Zetec engine handled by Alan Voyce; A 2002 1800cc MGTF 160 driven by Don Bissell.
We also have Junior Hovercraft contender Oliver Bran and F50 class contender Sarah Gill.

Model racing featuring a range of specifications

These scale models are involved in very competitive championships under the control of the MSUK at both indoor and outdoor circuits so the technical aspects of car set up can have many variables to consider. Controller Chris Moore.
