What are the pro's and con's of the black hawk drive?

Pro: Cool factor, rooster tail, fast

Con: 8mph idle, expensive props

I am sure that there are a few more or each . I have a friend with one for sale. If I did not have my hands full, I would buy it.

Look around on Donzi.org. There are a few guys that have them. They love to go fast.

Thanks! how hard is it to get parts for them?

I think that they are mostly Bravo innards but you will want to confirm that with the proper authorities.

There are plenty of those that have been around the block that run some power through them.

Props are very hard to come by and I believe the only items you cannot get for them is the vertical shaft and the case itself.

Good drive, basically a surface version of a bravo with counter rotating props. Some parts are avail, others arent. It has been discontinued for some years now. Cases are NLA new as are some other internals. The parts shared by them & the bravos are mostly avail. And yes propping them is pricey and can be a bitc#... Also yes they do have a tendancy to usually idle along a bit faster than a std B1... Jamie / Lakeside
