Pool Shark is available in both “Full” and “Short” Kit configurations. The “Full” Pool Shark Kit consists of everything you will need to build a competitive `race-ready’ Footy, less radio gear, tools, adhesives and paint. The “Short” Kit does not contain sails or rigging and is intended for those who wish to design/build their own rigging and sails.
Both the “Short” and “Full” Kits contain many pre-fabricated parts to make assembly simple and fast. Wherever possible, components have been fabricated from carbon fiber for strength and weight-savings, and stainless steel or plated fittings for corrosion resistance. No power tools are required for assembly. Some basic model building skills are required, but the Kit includes a 1-1/2 hour long `how-to’ DVD that takes the builder through the entire construction process from beginning to end and shows how to build a Pool Shark with very clear, easy and complete instructions. An experienced builder can easily complete a Pool Shark as a weekend project; while a novice with some basic modeling skills should be able to complete one in a week of evenings.
