Mike,

What's the history for the G70 Darkstar motors?

Why did they never go into full production?

As always, thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

Hey Bob,

Both the F62 and G70 motors fell victum to a serious accounting error which ended their short lives. Composite motor mterials and construction costs are already severe with any motor maker and their retail prices reflect this. It can be a struggle. If the costs are not tracked or are not correctly controlled, the actual price to produce a motor may leave no room for any profit. This problem appeared during F62 production which then rolled over to bringing the G70 online. Estes simply didn't make enough profit on the F62 to continue with either motor.
