AIR blAIR dart multi-build

[air blair]

. I'm not sure how much I'll update depends on other dart build threads. I'll try to hit key point updates to help the other people building em up. Three different scuppers- epic magnetized flap style, thrust flat style, and Blowsion scupper. All still being sold at your favorite retailers.

Looks good @air blair ! Hope to get some tray time on a dart at WaveDaze since I didnt get any at Carolina Beach.

I like the recessed scuppers. Where did you get the fitting?

Epic Industries makes em super cool people with really nice billet

I thaught epic looked cool. I'll tell when I got it in hand I loved it. Great quality, magnets glued in well. This scupper is my top choice pic by far so far. I know what to expect from it. Rapid water removal with minimal issues. Thrust used to make recessed but are discontinued and offer this hockey puck scupper I have on the black ski above. The Blowsion is a safe alternative scupper. Works well not as fast at removing water though. I got it at a price I couldn't refuse. I've tried a lot of scuppers and I still run a bilge

I have to say Jeff, that's the best looking hull you've made so far.

 

[air blair]

Thank you much, hard when I'm a functional kind of guy/versus perfectionist. I tend to say good enough - getter done. So on this hull ya, you can see good enough. Its acceptable to my standards. Lol. I don't know if you know what I mean. So here the engine way was to a point of decision. Lay some visual carbon for bling or knock down the edges and brush stroke some gel. Gel gotter done.

and back to black glitter lol

Does the e box mount in the standard location with your front footholds?

 

[air blair]

Yes, I mount it above footholds.

Paint stick sitting on footholds then drill holes for ebox mounts. I'll show in pics soon enough. This build will finish this week.

I couldn't stand what I did in engine bay . Compounded a disastrous look so back to carbon visual I went. Yesh. This is it.

Then onto turf till epoxy dries and back to drive train setup

extra pad on edge of hold for the easy kick in hold. Rounded padding over for a good gluing and taper. Kick tail for blind foot placement

. I glue portions at a time slide the turf in elevate and apply air til dry. Then stick it, move back more do it again.

[air blair]

finish. I'm no pro at this turfing but I get a little better every time. Oh ya don't forget to put your ebox mounts in before padding or turf. Easy to forget on a new build. Been there done that before lol. Aggressive foot turf top of foot and bottom. I like the diamonds this way for grip.
