Re: Aluula ? New Revolutionary Material from Ocean Rodeo

@OR...
Why is the smallest flite 12m. Surely stronger would be a great strong wind kite too.
Also
With the material stiffer how well does it pack away with being folded in the same place?

Re: Urethane rails

Hey. I'm thinking of changing to precast rails. What did you use for a mould and I am reluctant to use a release agent due to concerns of a reduced bond in the final product. Also i was previously recommended Shore 80. Now i have done some tests it seems quite soft. Not really happy with it and i bo...

Re: Foam core board build and a question for the next step

I have been looking for ages for large mylar sheet with no luck. The film i currently use is really static and attracts unwanted particles.

Re: New board build

Cool thanks.
I did bond the 2 foam layers on the rocker table, but I don't think is has much affect regarding residual stress.
If I put the now cured board on the rocker table it is pretty much the same shape and still follows the same curve.
Would probably be a different story with wood core.

Re: The fastest board surface possible with DIY

I would say every millimetre on a F1 car is aerodynamic. But with the necessary down force added. The whole car is built in the wind tunnel. If they just wanted it to go straight they would alter the down force and drag would drop to bugger all.
