Welcome to the Model Hovercraft Association
If you are fascinated by model hovercraft, or hovercraft in general, and you want to join an association of like minded people, you've come to the right place.
With an increasing interest in radio controlled and other model hovercraft, the Model Hovercraft Association was set up to carry the development of this interest forward. If you are interested in any aspect of model hovercraft, whether it be research, design, building, or operating, then the Model Hovercraft Association is for you. This is true if you are an already established expert,or are just starting out.
Following an Inaugural general meeting held on the 19th September 2004 at the Hovercraft Museum, Lee-on-Solent, the Model Hovercraft Association was formed. The principle aims and objectives of the MHA include:-
- The encouragement of interest in the building and operation of model hovercraft.
- Research, education and discussion on the design, operating and trading aspects of model hovercraft and the understanding of the technical principles involved.
- To hold meetings to further the objectives above and to present papers, films, videos etc, and to exchange information.
- Regular distribution of a Newsletter.
- Establishment of a database and library for books, photographic materials and papers on the history and development of model hovercraft.
Membership is open to all.
