Firehawk!

Here are some pictures and details of my current project, a GCI "airtime twister" called Firehawk.



First drop, about 100ft at a 52 degree slope.



This is the second hill. This is a pretty crazy element. First you get air while turning slightly to the left, then it reverses and pulls a bit over 3g as it climbs and turns to the right, then it levels off a starts coming down a bit, then there is another parabolic profile, while still curving, as you get air and laterals at the same time before pulling out.



Looking backwards from the crest of the 3rd hill.



Panaramic view of the whole layout.

looks cool! any idea when it will be posted

late today, maybe

cool

I've reconfigured the ride a bit. I've added a tight helix and tiny elevated bunnyhop post lift, and essentially rotated the rest the rest of the layout 90 degrees, making for a much more compact layout.

Here's an overhead shot from the editor. Should give you a better appreciation of just how compact and twisted this thing is. The whole layout fits in an area of only 1.8 acres.
