Thanks Ted. I am still learning things with my 1st design Blackbird. Didnt get it wet till sometime in october. WE had the nice weather in november, and was able to run it two days in a row before the weather changed. Hope to see you at the pond. Richard D

I'm looking forward to seeing the new design in person. Pictures never seem to show the intricate details of precision craftsmanship.

Hey Larry, see you later today. Many design changes on the G-2 Blackbird, and a neat tool is included with the kit, to set the strut depth and angle. Richard D

[Richard Dahlheimer]

ooooops.... didnt realize Larry was signed in using my computer. The above reply to Mark was from me. Richard D

 

[LarryConrad]

I thought I logged out!

The new G2 looks killer! I'm anxious to see how it performs on the water!

Larry

 

[Chris Wood]

The G2 should come in under 4lbs unless you are crazy with paint

mine was 3lbs 9oz on the proto type and the ski was made out of MUCH thicker wood than the production boat.

richard one you get rolling on things send me some pics.

[Ted buckley]

Richard, what type of On/Off device you gonna use on this new hull?

 

[Richard Dahlheimer]

Chris, i will send you pictures or post them here, provided Larry can help. Im not very sharp when it comes to computers. Ted, i plan on using a Futaba on/off switch mounted in a dubro quick switch mount. Richard D
