I mentioned in a previous post that I was going to post some testing videos for your viewing pleasure....Well here goes.....
1] This was the initial run of the "first" production kit boat....The blow off was a result of the flat front radio box and no cowl...
We put a deflector on the front of the radio box and the blow off problem ceased...it was all an aero problem....
2] 2nd Day G30 442 3 Blade CNC Prop Battery was half gone from previous runs.....
3] Second FE Prototype Tunnel 1716 17 45 Prop....
4] Second Prototype FE Tunnel 1815 17 45 Prop....in some nasty water and wind...
5] First production kit boat with an ABC 1614-ABC 3 Blade Chopper Style Propeller ABC 1614-ABC
6] zippkits g30 first production kit /3rd run......When the boat went spear fishing at the end of the run,the motor had siezed...lol

The prototypes were run with [3] lower unit platforms....the Lawless...the K&B .....and the O.S.....all performed very well....this is a
very happy boat....
That is a snapshot of some of the testing videos....needless to say I am very pleased with the boat...the boats current platform is solid ,
predictable and reliable....The JAE G 30 is a very user friendly boat......
For the modeler who does not feel comfortable building the G30 a "complete" building service will be available through Mike Walker...

Mike built 4 of the 5 prototypes and he builds a great boat....
The JAE design & R&D teams involvement in this boats development is basically concluded for now.....I am confident the boat will morph to
some degree as it gets out into the modelers hands and we will get our fingers back in as necessary......
As to release dates that is up Joe at Zippkits....I know there are some logistical challenges yet to be solved but they are rapidly coming
to fruition but those decisions are in Joe's pocket....
Thank you for you patience during this endeavor..it has been fun...Rod Geraghty
