Looking at the picture your hang for a Blackbird is wrong, your foot end should be 12-18inches higher than the head end. Not always possible to tel in photos but Im sure your angle is wrong because of where your body is laying in the hammock, your in the middle. A properly hung Blackbird your head should be much higher towards the head end of the hammock, your head should be beyond the insolation of the wookie underquilt, in the photo your completely inside the wookies coverage, this means your feet probably hang past the foot end insolation of the wookie.
The 2 ways of getting the foot end higher are having the foot end strap higher on the foot end tree or by having the foot end strap be shorter than the head end. In photo straps are close to even height but the length looks longer on foot instead of head.
Last thing also make sure the wookie is nice and tight under you, if it slides to easily underneath you when your inside the hammock the rubber band might need an extra twist.
