Bird of Prey

Post by Yakass »

I've posted a video demonstrating my latest Adventure Island, which of course has been rigged for open-water fishing. Enjoy :-)

Awesome Josh. You've really evolved the AI into a serious fishing weapon.

My only critisism is that big Nitro sticker design that Innovator Rods ripped off from me. :x :evil:

Thanks guys. A lot of thought went into this one. Obviously a lot of it was based on past experience using and fitting out other AIs, but it helped to bounce ideas of Scotty, who contributed some nice touches to its set up, especially on the mainsheet operation. Can't wait to get her out this weekend :-)

A bit like a V8 supercar. I'd love to have a go but would have no idea how to drive it. Love looking at it though.
