Because Hovercraft Training
Centers conduct all their Training Courses
and Test Flights on Neoteric craft, you have the perfect way to find out if a hovercraft is right for you before you
commit to buying one. Here’s a perfect example of how that works …
Bill Hopkins, a retiree from Kansas, has been flying most of his life –
hang gliders, helicopters, airplanes. “If
it’s flyable, I like to fly it,” he says. But when he started building his
second aircraft, he learned that because of his asthma he couldn’t renew his
pilot’s license. “And my wife told me she’d
just as soon I stay on the ground. But I want to stay at least a little bit off
the ground,” he explains, “That’s how
I came to hovercraft.”
But Bill knew nothing about hovercraft, so his first step was to enroll in
a training course at HTC. As this experienced pilot explains, “There’s more to flying than just jumping in
the cockpit and taking off … you need somebody to show you how to do it.”

Pilot Certification from HTC Senior Instructor Chris Fitzgerald (center). Bill’s friend David Raynolds (right) accompanied him during his
training course ...
At the
Wabash River training site, Bill learns how to conduct a thorough preflight
inspection before launching the hovercraft ...
At the
controls, Bill learns every maneuver possible in the hovercraft, including how
to get over the hump …
With Chris
Fitzgerald providing constant instruction and feedback, Bill learns to operate
the Neoteric training hovercraft’s reverse thrust. This patented feature gives
all Neoteric hovercraft the unique ability to brake, fly backwards and hover in
place …
Bill’s thoughts
at the end of his training day? “It went
fine, very enjoyable. I didn’t know anything about them, so I learned
everything! I might consider buying one with that reverse thrust if you have
one here and I could take it home with me.”
He found just what he wanted. Here’s Bill Hopkins’ hovercraft, purchased from our Trade-In Showroom, which he plans to use for lake and
river cruising and fishing – and, of course, staying off the ground!
